Nagios will only complain if you try to put the same service name
more than once on the same host, so you should be able to just put all
the individual web servers into a hostgroup and then apply each site's
service checks to that hostgroup. (Using a hostgroup for this is
optional, but pretty.)

Just make sure each site has a different name for its service
checks, and you should be fine. e.g. "HTTP Site1", "HTTP Site2",
"CF Site1", "CF Site2", etc. I usually use the domain name (or a subset
thereof) as the service name for checking websites.
