OK - not knowing what "jetspeed" is I checked it out.
I would suggest, given that jetspeed is designed for JSP, you should either just choose to implement it on a JSP platform or look for something else. You could mix JSP and CFMX on the same platform, but my question would be "Why have to support two separate methodologies? Pick the one that best suits the needs.".
Having said that, there are supposedly facilities in CFMX to be able to import JSP tag libraries. I have no idea how easy this is (or isn't). The documentation says that the JSP tag libraries must conform to the JSP 1.1 tag extension API. The JSP tags must be in a JAR file. I could see nothing specifically on the Jetspeed site that indicates their system supports this type of framework.
However, there are other issues that you might also want to consider regarding CFMX....
* The source code always has to be available - you cannot generate your CLASS files once and then remove the source. This is different to the JSP model where you can (I believe) compile a complete web application and then remove the source).
* Jetspeed looks like it is a complete application - the amount of work required to slice it up into the front-middle-back layers may not be worth the time.
* If it is a development methodology that supports an MVC like paradigm that you are looking for, then MVCF is one that I like using (and it supports the concept of "pagelets" - or "servelets" - depending on your definition).
