I see a lot of karma etiquette talk here. Are there guidelines for awarding karma points?

One issue comes to mind - the popularity sort combined with the fact that many people often only read the first few comments on any blog.

Well, that's the guideline - an upvote promotes a comment to greater attention on the popularity list, and a downvote demotes it. Those are the facts - everything else is pure theory. :)
