You have a few options:

1. In IIS or Apache, change the default 404 error handler to point to a cfm file of your choice.

2. In Application.cfc, set up the onMissingTemplate function to handle requests for .cfm files that are sent to ColdFusion before the web server checks to see if they actually exist.
