This is a bit of a side-step but applescript can duplicate a file and the result will have whatever finder comment that the original did. An example command would be tell application "Finder" to duplicate file "file.txt" of folder folderPath, where folderPath would be the path to the file's containing folder. It is possible to call applescript from the shell using the osascript command. It's a bit quirky but depending upon your specific use case, it might provide a solution. Duplicate has several options which can be found in its applescript dictionary, and there is man osascript.
