There is no reason you cannot do it exactly this way:
<cfscript>
myTabControl = createObject("component","path.to.TabControl");
myTabControl.TabType = "TabTypeDynamic";
myTabControl.TabSelected = "DefaultTab";
myTabControl.ControlImagePath = "../tabcontrol/";
myTabControl.ControlScriptPath = "../tabcontrol/";
</cfscript>
However, two things you might want to do (best practice):
1. Move the set up to an init method like you suggested (make sure you
return the this scope in the init)
<cfset myTabControl =
createObject("component","path.to.TabControl").init("TabTypeDynamic","DefaultTab","../tabcontrol/","../tabcontrol/")
/>
2. Make the data properties private (use variables scope rather then this
scope inside cfc) and uses accessor methods to change them.
<cfset type = myTabControl.getTabType() />
<cfset myTabControl.getTabType("TabTypeDynamic") />
