Seam offers some basic infrastructure for CAPTCHA creation and validation, so all you have to do if you want to add CAPTCHA validation to a form is add a single form field and show the picture with <h:graphicImage/>. The only built-in implementation we shipped with Seam 1.x and 2.0 was based on JCaptcha, but you could easily extend it and do your own question/answer thing. This is actually what I did and you can see my simplified math question CAPTCHA if you try to post a comment to this entry.
