Well, the comments app would have to be installed and your templates
would need to include the the proper tags, perhaps wrapped in an if
tag. Then, with an 'allow_comments' field in your model, you could
turn comments on or off from the admin. Even if there was a practical
way to automate the model related stuff, you would still need to tell
the template where and how to display the comments so complete
automation is not really practical.
