Some more thoughts:
Most comment spammers access the mt-comments.cgi script directly. Knowing this, it gives us a possibility to prevent abuse using .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}!^http://.*yoursite\.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^path-to-mt/mt-comments.cgi - [F]

Some other ways of avoiding automated comment spam:

Readers of your weblog must register before posting to your weblog

Image comprehension technology (accessibility issues though)
Like pmac says, there are loads of tools out there, just go Google (it's a verb) for them!
