Hi Russ, well you really should take a look at Railo. Railo 2 is MX 7.02 compatible and you could easily use it instead of other engines. The Railix version for instance is a zip file that you can just unpack into a directory and start it with a batch or sh file. No installation necessary. Furthermore Railo supports all common Frameworks like Fusebox 5.x, MachII 1.x, ModelGlue, Coldspring, Coldbox etc...
Just give it a try.
