It shoud be possible to do that with FlashMX/FlashRemotingMX/ColdFusionMX. You have all the required features in FlashMX : drag&drop, pixel coordinates, remoting to generate the HTML form with ColdFusionMX... But you'll need a really good ActionScript developer to do the Flash UI...
It might be better to wait for Royale, http://www.macromedia.com/special/royale/ (even if it seems to be designed for the contrary : to easily generate Flash forms from XML files, and not HTML forms from Flash UI...). I agree with Bryan, why not using a flash Form instead of an HTML form?
