I have an excel file that has a comments field where the text contains bold and italicized words. Is there anyway to import the comments into SQL and maintain the formatting to be called and displayed via a Cold Fusion page?

No. You can't store formatting in the database.

You can however write a macro in Excel to export data and metadata such as formatting to a table in Microsoft SQL Server.
Make sure you write the data in a format Cold Fusion can understand.
Perhaps you should export the data in the cells as html?
