Sure, just copy the text, create the comment in a patch, and click the comment so the text "comment" is highlighted. Then paste the text.
Related weirdness: if you open a new patch and immediately try to paste text without first creating a comment, nothing is pasted but the patch gets a dirty flag.

is there a way to cut and paste text from the console or some other external text source into a comment object?
I'm RTFM and can't seem to find anywhere if this is possible
