I have worked with SGE but it requires NFS
I believe it is possible to set up SGE without any NFS at all. On the other hand, you will have to handle the distribution of the scripts and programs you want to run on your grid anyway, so you will probably need NFS set up for that...
Have a look at GXP, it seems to be exactly what you are looking for: http://www.logos.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/gxp/index.php?FrontPage
You can also look at SQS, it seems to be very simple: http://sqs.sourceforge.net/
GXP looks more powerful, though.
As another post suggested, there is Torque, which is similar to SGE and probably has similar requirements.
And there is also Condor, which does not need NFS but is more complex (does checkpoints, etc.): http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/
Then there are the commercial ones, of which Platform LSF seems to be the more complete one, but as you are looking for something simple, I recommend you look at the above first.
HTH, Filipe
