You could try to install a second instance of Apache with a
different service name and its own httpd.conf without the
ColdFusion stuff, or using the -D name parameter to [de]activate
<IfDefine name> blocks.
bin\apache -h will tell you the options and parameters.
You could try:
bin\apache -k install -n apanocf -f apanocf.conf

If you like registry hacks: the command line parameters can also
be put into server start registry values.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\A pache2\Parameters\ConfigArgs
or something like that.

Don't forget to set both service definitions to "Manual startup"
and start just the one you need.
