/Is there any way to format the values in a p*q frequency table
/created by proc freq?

/Typically these values are just counts,
/but with a weight statement they are no longer necessarily integers.
/I want to format them something like comma8.

I don't know if you can fomat the variable Count in proc FREQ
try this:

proc FREQ
 format Count comma8.;

if that doesn't work you'll need an output data set:
proc FREQ data = WHATEVER;
 weight Var0;
 tables Var1 * Var2 / list missing out = FREQ;

proc PRINT data = FREQ;
 format Count comma8.;

you'll notice right away that there is no cumulative Count and Percent.
You could accumulate those vars in a simple data step before the proc PRINT
