ColdFusion 9 added the "writeLog" function which allows you to do this. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/WS48D04B65-0694-44e9-9E35-F9D7C9152B6C.html

In Lucee/Railo you can use cflog in script by removing the angular brackets and the "cf" prefix, so you can write

<cfscript>
  log text="some text" file="logfilename" type="information";
</cfscript>

this is equivalent to

<cflog text="some text" file="logfilename" type="information">
