Is there a way to use Taxonomy to tag comments? Is there a module that allows this? What I'd like is for users to be able to categorize their comments so that users can filter the viewed comments by tags... I suspect Node Comment might allow me to do this, but it also has potential to be a messy transition...
Comments

you are correct node comment module would be where you want to start.
Comments would have to be turned into nodes to allow taxonomy to work with comments. Once comments are converted to nodes they are treated as any other content type and can be exapnded like every other content type.
pseudo comments by using CCK field node reference?
by chance I am exactly thinking on the same issue. I've designed a special node type for fish species and I want visitors be able to add certain categories of comments: maintenance, breeding, natural biotope etc. How?
I haven't tested it yet but I have an idea.
A similar case is explained in the o'reilly book "Using Drupal". there are two node types "jobs" and "applications" where applications are logically connected to their corresponding applications thorough a CCK field "node reference". By using relations in views the author shows how applications can be listed under their related job.
Now I plan to do something like this: I will disable comments for fish node type. then I will define a new note type like "fish comment" with a CCK node reference field connected to fish node type. by using views in a footer (or content bottom) block I will attach fish comments to fish nodes. maybe it works!
