The MK access road is open. I don't know how strict the rangers are about letting non-4WD vehicles on the road above the VIS but if you go up in the middle of the night then no-one's on duty. Given the comet is in the north, I would suggest the Mauna Loa road is a much better option as Maun Kea will just get in the way unless you drive to the summit, and your eyes don't work so well at that altitude.
