I faced similar problem with constants when doing WSDL generator. In my 
case I wanted to extract constant description to include it in WSDL 
documentation section. Unfortunately PHP Reflection API exposes only 
ReflectionClass::getConstants method which doesn't return PHPDoc comments.

My solution was to put following annotation in class PHPDoc for each 
constant in the class:
@constant CONSTANT_NAME Description of constant.

Of course you need to keep constant names in PHPDoc synchronised with 
code, but in my case this annotation is required for every constant so I 
get notified about any problems with it.
