I was able to connect FileMaker Pro to CFMX (the original port) about a
year ago (or so).

As I recall there were some esoteric settings you had to make in
FileMaker to allow the connection.

I was able to use FM databases in a CFMX development environment, but
don't know if the connection is/was reliable enough for production/

I have a pretty full schedule, so it will take me a couple of days to
get back up to speed.

But, yes, it can/has been done!
