Unless I'm missing something, this is really easy to do:

<cfquery name="myQuery">
select distinct categoryID, categoryName
from categories
</cfquery>

<form>
<select name="categoryid" size="1">
<cfoutput query="myQuery">
<option value="#myQuery.categoryID#">#myQuery.categoryName#</option>
</cfoutput>
</select>
</form>
