Not with straight HTML, but you can do it with JavaScript - something like
onKeyPress="if(document.FORMNAME.TEXTAREANAME.value.length > 500) {
alert('Only 500 characters allowed') }"
You can also do it, obviously, when the form is submitted:
<cfif Len(form.TEXTAREANAME) GT 500>
<cfabort showerror="Only 500 characters allowed">
</CFIF>
