What you are describing is very similar to Fermi's job forwarding gateway:

http://fermigrid.fnal.gov/matchmaking.html

http://osg-docdb.opensciencegrid.org/0006/000614/001/FermiGrid_OSG_Experience.ppt

They are not using OSGMM, but their solution is based on ReSS so there 
is a lot in common. I'm sure Keith Chadwick can provide more information.

But in general, you should be able to do this with a custom job manager 
on your CE. See globus/lib/perl/Globus/GRAM/JobManager/. Create a custom 
one which translates an incoming job to a OSGMM job. There are some 
issues to watch out for such as staging and proxy renewals, but it the 
end, your users can then submit regular condor-g jobs from their own 
submit machines.
