I would use /usr/local/www for the DocumentRoot and /usr/local/coldfusion for the coldfusion base.
Apache is easy to change, edit the httpd.conf to show the new location of the document root. Look for the line DocumentRoot "/var/www/htdocs" or some such directory. Coldfusion will probably prompt you for these things when you run the install. Its a while since I installed it and can't remember how it actually went.
