This can all be accomplished dynamically with CF. I run into the same situation. My laptop, which is my development machine, only has a C drive. My test web server at home as the sites running on the F drive, and my production server also uses the F drive. So, I just set everything up in the application.cfm file to account for the differences, especially when working with files and such with CFFILE. I know there are other ways to do things, I am just offering suggestions on what I do.
