Don't worry about .defs.  Those are coff debug info.  NASM doesn't support
them (yet).
If it does it will probably use the same syntax as gas (i hope).

>-I don't know how to handle the .comm's exactly
NASM does have a comm directive.  It is still lacking an lcomm equivalent
though.  From the help ...

The COMMON directive is used to declare common variables. A common variable
is much like a global variable declared in the uninitialised data section,
so that

          common intvar 4

is similar in function to

          global intvar

          section .bss
intvar    resd 1
