David,
Technically no. I've found it well summarized like this, Coldfusion is a
developers tool, when used as Coldfusion, but when used as Java, it's an
engineer's tool. Although I also say, Coldfusion is for Developers and
PHP is for programmers. =D
In some sense I would see benefits, one being that you can customize the
actual core by deploying your own Java.
Blue dragon is what I usually recommend for those who are shy to the
high price tag of CF.
(And it would be JRun, Because Tomcat won't do the trick =P)

Flame me for starting this, I know it might get religious. But:
an organization of which I am a member is evaluating proposals to

what I just picked up from skimming
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColdFusion. Recognizing my bias
towards languages that I speak, I try to keep an open mind. I am
interested in hearing what you guys think about CF. I know I can
expect a PHPish bias in this forum but I also know there are a
lot of independent-minded, non-dogmatic, clear-headed,
breath-takingly wise and knowledgeable... have I flattered you
enough yet?

The only reason I could see for using coldfusion is that you have
a site already written in it and you don't want to rewrite the
whole thing in PHP. Maybe if the only other developers on staff
only knew coldfusion? That might also be a good case. Other than
that I don't see any advantages.
I take it you don't see any disadvantages, then?
