These are two different technologies to solve different problems. One deals with messaging between multiple applications, and the other deals with modeling of business processes.
SQL Service Broker is a messaging paradigm that is provided in SQL Server between two or more applications. It provides the ability to have multiple applications communicate with each other by placing messages on queues, and SQL Server would take care of delivering messages to other applications asynchronously.
Windows Workflow Foundation provides the ability to define business processes in either a flow-chart or state-machine fashion.
