Actually building our your suggestion, you should be able to do something
like this: (completely off the top of my head and untested, but hopefully
it helps).
At the top of a page 2-5:
<cfoutput>
<cfloop list="form.fieldnames" index="field">
<cfif field NEQ "fieldnames"><!--- don't want to double these up --->
<input type="hidden" name="#field#" value="#form[field]#">
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>.
This should copy all form elements from the previous form into hidden fields
on the new form, keep doing this step by step and you will have one giant
form by the end.

There's a form field that gets passed called "fieldnames", I believe, that
is a comma-delimited list of all the fieldnames passed from the previous
form.
If you know, on each page, what field names you're using on THAT form - you
could compare that list of fields to form.fieldnames, and any non-matches,
create a hidden field var for.
Trick with this is, you'd pretty much have to have the lists of field names
for each form bit - if you're pulling stuff out of a DB, then you could
build up the list easy enough. Otherwise, you'd have to maintain a list
variable of fieldnames for each form section. Only one spot though, so
adjusting would be cake.
