According to [1] the content modell doesn't allow this:

funcprototype ::=
(modifier*,funcdef,
 (void|varargs|
  (paramdef+,varargs?)),
 modifier*)


However, if you use DocBook NG you could use the attribute annotations in 
paramdef to insert your comment. But you need probably customize the 
stylesheets.
