Sean Corfield (www.corfield.org) has a custom tag that uses a Java-based PHP implementation (can't remember the name) to allow execution of inline PHP code from CF templates. I don't know if they implement the pack() function, but I'd think it likely. If they do, you could use that to get your pack() function in CF, though it's using a wrecking ball to pound in a finishing nail.
