Afaik no. You can help yourself with maybe putting multiple lines into a function, that will never be called. Let's say we want to "comment" cmd3-5:

Code:
cmd 1
cmd 2
dummy()
{
cmd 3
cmd 4
cmd 5
}
cmd 6

Since function dummy will never be called, you will have the effect you are asking for. As with # commented lines, you have to care for correct syntax like if/then/fi, case/esac, while/do/done, for/do/done, and so on.
