While I think it would be cool to run CFML on Google's App engine, I think 
one of the major hurdles would be files system access.  Log files, temp 
directories, and even cached class files would all have to be refactored. 
And according to the docs, any running program wouldn't even be allowed to 
open a socket connection.

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/whatisgoogleappengine.html
"For instance, bytecode that attempts to open a socket or write to a file 
will throw a runtime exception"

I think you'd have to use all of Google's APIs to do all that stuff.  CFMAIL 
would be out in favor of the JavaMail API.  Seems like a lot of that would 
be a step backwards from the basic stuff ColdFusion already does for us. 
Either way, unless Adobe REALLY wanted to rearrange CF to fit that mold, I 
think an open source project like Railo or OpenBD would have to take up the 
mantle of making a CFML engine that followed the Googles App sandbox rules.
