I use a similar setup to Jeff purely for search engine optimisation. You can set the HTTP status code to 200 and googlebot does index.
Another point is that while google may index sites with complex URL's this in itself does not constitute search engine optimisation but rather is just a component of SEO. Having a URL of: kittens.pets.com will be more beneficial than: www.pets.com?cfid=30393&cftoken=jsdjsj&navitem=cats&category=pets&subsection=kittens if kitten is one of the keywords you wish to promote.
