Hello, Michael. I think you will spend more time configuring and troubleshooting grid engine on mac than it is worth. Your time is very expensive compared to purchasing an additional Linux server, or I would suggest setting up ssh keys to interact remotely with the Linux cluster. That said, I have some experience installing grid engine on a rack-full of Xservers. This is on old hardware now, Mac OS X Server 10.5 with ge6.2u2_1.
I have found mac to be an unstable HPC server environment. I was not able to get ulimit to be honored, so processes would often ignore limits and consume all memory, crashing the system. When the system crashed, I would then have to do a painful ldap restore. I also found that nfs would hard lock very frequently under moderate load. Only by accident did I discover not to trust the mac automount daemon, but instead to mount nfs by command line only. I was able to get grid engine to load on boot with launchd scripts, FYI. Note that Apple seems to be slowly removing all functionality from config files, so you will find things moving, breaking and more unscriptable as you follow OS updates. I admit my unix-like approach to mac servers, and that there is probably a "better" way to do many system tasks, now. Good luck. Cheers.
