As long as they let you customize your CSS and put arbitrary CSS/HTML tags
into your posts, it would be fairly trivial to create / steal a nice
monospace code style and just wrap the pertinent bits in it. Comments might
be harder, but again, so long as they allow the tags, your CSS should handle
it.

I know that Social Text has a specific "Code" style and button in their
editor widget. ST is not really "blog software", though it can certainly be
used for such a thing. Look at my install guide for it at
http://www.socialtext.net/open/index.cgi?socialtext_open_install_guide_for_ubuntu_6_06for
examples of what their code blocks look like.
