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).
