See this yahoo blog post [1] if you haven't already.

By adding a rel="nofollow" attribute to hyperlinks, webmasters and
weblog owners can tell search engines that the links are effectively
untrusted. For example, this:


buy now [2]


Becomes this:


buy now [3]

6.12 Link types [4]



Authors may use the following recognized link types, listed here with
their conventional interpretations. In the DTD, %LinkTypes refers to a
space-separated list of link types. White space characters are not
permitted within link types.


"
So, you should perhaps be appending this to any existing comment links
with a rel attribute.

+1 for the feature


It seems to me this might be easier accomplished as an input filter?
