Check the docs for "CASE".
The T-SQL equivalent should be something like:

SELECT field1, field2,
(CASE
WHEN (field1 = field2)
THEN 'same'
ELSE 'different'
END)
AS mynote
FROM mytable

Maybe it's not worth creating a dedicated SP, but you could still but it
inside a view and embed just a minum amount of SQL inside your CFML. You
would end up with something like:

SELECT *
FROM my View
WHERE etc
