yes and no...
<cfcomponent name="static">
<cffunction name="getMyVar">

</cfcomponent>
It's not technically a variable, rather it's a method which returns a
hard-coded value -- but because it's not actually stored in a
variable, it becomes essentially a constant. You can call
static.getMyVar() to return the value but unless you extend the
component you'll never be able to change what getMyVar() returns.
Which covers public and static... I'll grant that it doesn't allow you
the "final" part of what would be available with Java.
