The only one i can think of on the top of my head was Donnie Darko directors cut had Kevin Smith on it. I don't think he had any relation to the film. It was cool hearing his thoughts on the film though.
Any others out there?

Define "relation." I have listened to several tracks that were done by a historian, scholar, or film critic who has studied the film or the film's subject matter. Would you consider these people as "related" to the film?
If not: Rebel Without a Cause; The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; (I swear there is on on the Great Escape, but I don't see it listed on the case) ... I know I have listened to many others -- seems like the old war films have quite a few.

Patti Smith on the Aqua Teen movie (She actually has a lot to say about a movie she's barely seen!)
The Interns on Bowling for Columbine
Local writers/reviewers on Unhinged
Johnny Legend and Eric Caidin on SWV's Mondo movies (They don't even watch the movies before the recordings. So they see if their memories of the 60's hold up---They usually do)

Well, from what I've heard he helped Will Ferrell and the guys record "Afternoon Delight" and get the four part harmony going on it. So he was kind of involved.

One of my favorite commentaries is Steven Soderbergh and Tony Gilroy on The Third Man.

Quite a few of the film in the Warner Bros. Film Noir collections have commentaries by film historians and critics. Also, Roger Ebert did a wonderful commentary for Casablanca.

On the Ultimate matrix sets there are Critic and Philosophy teacher commentary tracks which I quite enjoyed.

The gay guy who does a commentary for Showgirls is hilarious and he had nothing to do with the film.

His commentary is good and informative up to a point. When it gets to a certain part of the film he hates, he starts rattling off crime statistics and telling you to fast forward. And if your still watching then he says there must be something wrong with you. It's very odd and I'm surprised they didn't edit out his entire rant

Well, one of the philosophers was in the second 2 Matrix movies (or maybe it was just the last one) Cornell West played one of the senators that was in charge of sending ships out or not.

If we rule out historians or critics commentaries,
The Graduate: Steven Soderbergh
Hot Fuzz: one commentary with real Police Officers, another commentary featuring Quentin Tarantino
The King Of Kong: Chris Carle of IGN and Jon M. Gibson of I-Am-8-Bit
The Work Of Director Spike Jonze: Beastie Boys comment on many of the videos, not just their own
Once Upon A Time In The West: featuring fan John Carpenter
Panic Room: 'surprise guest' William Goldman
Step Brothers: NBA player Baron Davis
The Thing From Another World: director of the remake, John Carpenter
Transformers: The Movie: Fans commentary
The Simpsons discs have many tracks featuring people that didn't work on the specific episode, usually because they just happened to be there recording a different commentary earlier or later that day, and just stuck around. (Like Weird Al Yankovic on one other track on season 14)
The Monkees

Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork & Davy Jones (separately) on Daydream Believers, the TV movie about them, but none of them had anything to do with the production. They're really cool commentaries because they point what actually happened and what didn't happen (Like Michael Nesmith's portrayal as being very vocal about the music thing to the point of yelling out in productions etc. and that never really happened. I think it was Peter Tork who said if it had been like that maybe there wouldn't have been a problem). I think more bio-pic films about people who are still living should have that person do a commentary.

Kevin Smith is probably the king of this, he also appears on commentary tracks for "Spaced" and "Orgazmo".
Also the original "Clerks" track has people like "Mallrats" producer Jim Jacks contributing because it was recorded during that movie's production on the set or at least at the hotel where they were all staying.
Bryan Singer has one of his writer friends do the X-Men track with him. I also remember talk of a Blade trilogy release that was to have all 3 directors commenting on all 3 films together bu it never materialized.
