You have several options.

CF pages can reside anywhere - you can change the document root in one
of the XML files. I haven't done it for Tomcat but I have done it for
JRun (although I use the JRun Management Console to set the document
root to avoid editing XML files!).
Then I use mod_proxy and mod_rewrite rather than the connector module.
I do this because I have multiple sites running through the same Apache
instance. My rewrite rule looks like this:
RewriteRule ^/cfusion(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8180/cfusion$1 [P,L]
That rewrites and proxies all URLs beginning with /cfusion to the
Tomcat instance. You could easily do this:
RewriteRule ^/(.*\.cf[cm])$ http://127.0.0.1:8180/$1 [P,L]
That would map all .cfm / .cfc requests to Tomcat. You'd want
additional rewrites for .jsp and a special one for the Flash Remoting
gateway.
For the development environment I have set up, this is just more
flexible for me.
