If I understand you correctly, what you want is to be able to set up a 
template for use with the Templates plugin which will add range comments to 
selected text based on the current buffer mode.

If so, try something like this:

---------- Template start ----------
##template = Range Comment
##
## Determine the appropriate comment delimiters based on the buffer mode
#beanshell (false)
	mymode = buffer.getMode().getName();
	if ("java".equals(mymode)) {
		context.put("comment_start", "/* ");
		context.put("comment_end", " */");
	} else if ("velocity".equals(mymode)) {
		context.put("comment_start", "#* ");
		context.put("comment_end", " *#");
	}
#end
${comment_start}${_jeditSelection}${comment_end}
---------- Template end ----------

This example supports Java or Velocity code. Just edit the beanshell section 
for other modes.
