Did you try to set:

  <xsl:variable name="latex.hyphenation.tttricks">1</xsl:variable>

This usually works great for filenames and URLs by redefining the
hyphenation character to "/". Because you certainly don't have slashes
in your function names, this might unfortunately not work in your case.

Another possibility is to set directly a hyphenation character for
"typewriter" fonts (for these fonts usually there is no hyphenchar
defined). But this is a difficult issue and you should consult the UK
TeX FAQ or something similar before doing this.

Another possibility might be the usage of the package "hyphenat". 
Consult it's documentation for usage.
