Here's a thought.  Perusing the ColdFusion Developer's Exchange returned 
CF_StyledParagraph.

It's slightly different from ParagraphFormat() I believe (I actually 
haven't used it), but maybe you could work around it.

Maybe run Paragraph Format on a block of text, then run this custom tag on 
a list (with <p> as the delimiter)?  My brain's kinda fried right now, but 
I'm sure there is a potential workaround for this.
