Yes and no: AFAIK Emacs's faces don't support "dimming", so you either
do it the hard way and get what you describe (which requires creating new
faces and hence knowing which faces are used by the current
font-lock-rules, etc...), or you take the easy way out and just apply an
additional face that marks the commented out code in some other way
(e.g. by adding a background color).
