Hmmmm.  This has come up once before.  We should be okay with /**/...
here's the chapter on comments from the Tru64 assembler manual:

#   2.2    Comments 
#
#   The number sign character (#) introduces a comment. Comments that
#   start with a number sign extend through the end of the line on which
#   they appear. You can also use C language notation (/*...*/) to delimit
#   comments.
#
#   Do not start a comment with a number sign in column one; the assembler
#   uses cpp (the C language preprocessor) to preprocess assembler code
#   and cpp interprets number signs in the first column as preprocessor
#   directives.

More specifically, check out the email thread linked to from there.
The manual quote above was taken from the manual linked to from the email.
