You could use some JavaScript via Free Nodelet Settings or proprietary browser extension (eg Greasemonkey) to rewrite the 'Comment on' node.

<!--
  Free Nodelet example.

  Replaces the preview of the comment's parent node 
  with a preview of the parent AND its children.

  Extending it to preview the entire thread (eg, 
  root and all children) left as an exercise to 
  the reader and to those with better knowledge 
  of JS and/or PM tickers. :-)
-->

<script language="javascript1.2">
  var lb = "\x5B"; // PM doesn't like you using 
  var rb = "\x5D"; // square-brackets directly

  var allDivs = document.getElementsByTagName('div');

  var pNodes  = document.getElementsByName('note_parent_node');

  if (pNodes.length) {
    pNodeID = eval('pNodes' + lb + 0 + rb + '.value');

    for (var i = 0; i < allDivs.length; i++) {
      var thisDiv = eval("allDivs" + lb + i + rb);

      if (thisDiv.className == 'preview') {
        var previewHtml = thisDiv.innerHTML.split(/<hr/);
        var previewForm = eval("previewHtml" + lb + 1 + rb);

        thisDiv.innerHTML = '<iframe name="nodeThread"'

           + ' src="/?replies=1;displaytype=print;node_id=' 
           + pNodeID 
           + '" width="100%" height="50%"></iframe><hr' 
           + previewForm;
      }
    }
  }
</script>
