I've now got the front-end comments working as expected, and I'm mightily impressed with the ease of integration.
I guess my early query was erring towards a (false) expectation that the admin would provide me with advanced options for my custom models - I'd anticipated that there would be advanced options added to each edit page, to allow me to administer things like comment activation on individual objects. On reflection, that would require updates to every model I expect. A case of me expecting a little too much from the system ;)
Does anybody know of any plans / efforts towards that kind of mechanism though? Would be very useful.

With comments installed you can use the comments template tags to
attach a comment thread to any object in the template.
For example, for a hypothetical blog post, the template code to get
the list of free comments for the object might look like this:
{% load comments %}
{% get_free_comment_list for blog.posts object.id as comment_list %}
There's also a templage tag for spitting out the form for posting a
comment to that object:
{% free_comment_form for blog.posts object.id %}
You can find out more about how the comment tags work in the
templatetags library in django.contrib.comments:
