Does the default c way of using comments work?

Yes, use /* comment */.

ADDENDUM

I've also used C preprocessor #if 0 and #endif directives to quickly disable (or enable) multiple lines of a node during testing.
I have not seen any conditional directives in DT files elsewhere, so such use may be frowned upon.
