Does anyone know any tricks to get it to run Coldfusion under OS X? It seems like it will be a cold day in hell before Macromedia gives the platform the respect its due.

Not a flame, but why would anyone choose ColdFusion? It seems like with free, open-source options like PHP and JSP that ColdFusion would come up short in most business decisions. Any CF users care to elaborate on the reasons for their choice?

Easy: I had to give it a try, since my business partner is so proud he got CF MX from Macromedia for free when they stopped developping SiteSpring a few weeks after we'd bought it.
Never actually used it, though...

I just finished migrating a site over from ColdFusion to PHP / mySQL. Man that old site was a huge mess.

ColdFusion is actually quite good, its got an easy syntax to learn, and quite a lot of commands. Its a very straightforward way to program a dynamic website backed by SQL databases.
Against PHP, I don't know. But against ASP, _it rocks_. Doing ASP is like pulling hair out of your head, because it takes twice as many lines of code to do what CF does. I guess the ASP object model has some benefits, but if you really just want to make your website, ColdFusion does get it done much faster.
I think the reason I would recommend CF is that it is completely database oriented, and provides a great way to create a dynamic website. Its fairly fast given a modest machine. PHP has about the same capabilities as CF on the database front, and more capabilities generally, but you can't really go wrong with CF if you just want to integrate with databases.
On the other hand, CF's session-handling features need to be worked on. While its hard to do session handling in general with _any_ website, CF makes it hard at points. I'm not sure how PHP does here.
