I have done this with some success.  It helps with the app was designed to be integrated.
 
For example, if you are using FuseBox (or even Mach-ii I think), the apps are designed to run through a single file.  So you can set create an included object that calls that file as a custom tag.
 
As an example, our registration page is called as a custom tag:
http://www.echoeleven.com/index.cfm?objectid=48AFC21B-40CA-39AD-7A85CAECABFCFF63
Students go from one page to another; the url and form variables control was is displayed, and Farcry provides the header footer.
 
What doesn't work so well is when the page actually has multiple pages that get called on the URL, e.g. list.cfm, detail.cfm.  You can still get it to work, but you will probably have to provide a wrapper for each page, and then rework the code to link to the Farcry wrapper pages instead of the page to created.  I was integrating Raymond Camden's BlogCFC into FarCry (http://www.echoeleven.com/blog), and basically gave up; I found it much easier to let it exist as a separate application, and in his layout templates, I include the same headers/footers that my FarCry app uses.

Subject: [farcry-dev] using CF in FarCry

I'm looking into using FarCry to build my companies intranet.  It seems to have all functionality needed (user mgmt, approoval, role based access, etc).  My one question is if I can use preexhisting CF apps inside of a farcry site?  Meaning I need more then just content.  We have a few web appliacations that FTP/upload files to other servers, a calendar appliacaton with events, as well as a few others.   Is it possible to port this CF code into the FarCry pages and have the apps work?

I did just a quick test by adding a cfset and an output in the editor, but that was just treated as text and illegal tags by the browser...

Any suggestions?
