Get yourself a copy of TextMate. It’s the same keystroke to comment/uncomment in any language with that – command-/. And there’s *loads* of other good stuff in there too. The smart snippets rock.
It’s not free, but it’s worth every penny.

Huh? Which model?

Alternatively, get a Mac Book with a US keyboard. On mine the # is just shift-3. The expense of moving countries is more than made up for with the convenience of being able to put comments in your code.
And tell Simon to stick his TextMate – you want to get yourself a copy of Mac Vim – http://code.google.com/p/macvim/

Hey Andy, How are you? Still annoying the Aussies I hope. Thanks for the tip, I’ll give both a try and see how I get on. I probably won’t tell Simon to stick his TextMate though – he buys me beer so I’ll be nice to him.
As for the hash key, I reckin I might get used to the Alt + 3 thingo eventually.

Yes, Andy is annoying the Aussies. We’d like to send him back, but we’d need to send a stack of US-keyboarded Macs along with him to make sure he stays.

No hash key, but for ยง you don’t even need to hit shift. Barking.
