The comet C/2008 J4 (McNaught) has actually a MOID with the Earth
of  0.0442596 U.A.,

http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=C%2F2008+J4&orb=1

its orbit it's calculated from only a little arc of orbit of some days, I 
asked
to some friends that have amatorial observatory to take new positions for
to have a better orbit, if the real MOID it's littlest of the actual data
there is the possibility that we can see a meteor shower from this comet
around 10-11 July, for the Austral hemisphere, the comet passed
near the Earth orbit around 11-12 May, 60 days before the Earth.
But at today this it's only a hope.
Best greetings.
