Are these macros from a certain LaTeX package?  If yes, you could write
an AUCTeX style file for the package (see (info "(auctex)Style Files"))
and put something like this inside:

(TeX-add-style-hook
 "your-style"
 (lambda ()
   (TeX-add-symbols
    '("parencite" TeX-arg-cite)
    '("footcite" TeX-arg-cite))))

See also the AUCTeX style files for the jurabib, natbib or harvard
packages.
