For now though, your suggestion of a hand-rolled solution sounds like the way I need to go. Thanks for the advice.

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.
