Comment:

 The MT importer, at least the latest version (0.4) looks for a line in the
 MT export file reading "ALLOW COMMENTS", and then bases whether or not to
 turn on comments for a post based on the value on that line. Before
 importing, changing the configuration value of that line will turn off all
 comments as desired. WordPress's MT importer is designed to respect
 previous settings for imported posts, and use the WordPress settings for
 new ones.
