I have added your instructions to the OpenTerminal readme file. I've slightly modified them to work with OpenTerminal, so that "cdf" can use OpenTerminals functionality (support for Unicode file names, cd to the desktop if no windows are open, cd to the trash folder, etc.)
An especially cool thing with your command is that it works with every terminal application including xterm.

For anyone interested, I accomplish the same thing with a simple addition to my ~/.bashrc file:
####################################################################
# implement cdf command #
# (changes the working dir to the front-most window of the Finder) #
####################################################################
cdf()
{
eval cd "`osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to return the quoted form of the POSIX path of (target of window 1 as alias)' 2>/dev/null`"
}
With this added to your .bashrc file, you can open a terminal window and type "cdf" to change the working directory to the front-most Finder window.
Enjoy.

The latest version uses Leopard's Terminal tabs to full effect - excellent stuff!
