 Is there a good way to make this wrap when it goes past the width, if
 only in FF and Opera?

The simple, reliable method is to disallow exceptionally long words on
the server. When it comes to URLs you can trim the middle.

a 
href=http://very.long.example.com/url/that/will/annoy/;very.longhellip;ll/annoy//a

 I tried making the A element overflow: wrap, but that didn't work (I 
 presume because it's inline, not block).

The 'overflow: 'only works on block elements with declared dimensions,
and 'overflow: wrap' is an unknown value.

  only in FF and Opera?

Not really - unless some browsers support something like 'wrap-option:
emergency' suggested in CSS3 module: text.

In your case I would simply hide the overflow on the entire block...

.comment-content {overflow: hidden;}

...as that won't disturb anything regarding the link or otherwise, AFAICS.
