If a comet broke apart could the comas repel each other when near each other?

Possibly, depending on why the comet split apart to begin with. If the comet's nucleus heats up unevenly.
Once broken apart, the gas would be released into space, and the fragments will each continue to move apart. Gravity would act to bring the fragments back together, but the mutual gravity of comet fragments would be VERY small.
