is it possible to disable a component inside OSGI via an xml file similiar to the OSGIconfig. I want to disable com.adobe.granite.comments.internal.CommentReplicationContentFilterFactory.
In short no - there's no *universal* configuration-based way to stop a component. As Davide notes, some components allow you to effectively disable them using configuration, but for components which do not have such configuration, you need to stop the component manually via the web console or through code (using the ScrService).

and you can then place this inside your package and when this package is installed inside osgi the configurations are all set. Is there a similar method to disable the CommentReplicationContentFilterFactory component.
That depends if the implementation of the service within a bundle allows you to disable it or not.
You could potentially stop via the felix console either the bundle or the OSGi component but I don't know what it could be the CQ behavior if you disable the CommentsReplication.
