Select the lines you want and from the menu select Text->Prefix/Suffix Lines... and enter "# " in the prefix section. To remove them do the same thing but select "remove".

If your document's language is set to R, you can select the lines you want to comment, and do Edit->Un/Comment. BBEdit knows how to comment it correctly if you have the right language selected.
