I've just put the last coat of polyurethane on my hardwood floors. How long should I wait for them to "cure" before I can put furniture on them and it won't leave marks where the legs are?

You should wait a minimum of 48 hrs (72 hrs is better if you can.) That way any small 'puddles' of finish will have a chance to harden up and you won't have the finish peel up under pressure of furniture.
Be sure and put felt pads on the bottom of all the furniture legs so that they won't scratch your 'new' floors if they get bumped around.
