Actually info -f queue has the following;

  1. Run `./configure' .

     When installing as an ordinary user, configure sets the makefile
     to install GNU Queue into the current directory. `queue' will go
     in `./bin', `queued' daemon will go into `./sbin', `/com/queue'
     will be the shared spool directory, the host access control list
     file will go into `./share' and the queued pid files will go into
     `./var' . If you want things to go somewhere else, run
     `./configure --prefix=dir', where dir is the top-level directory
     where you want things to be installed.

And:

   If you want to just experiment with Queue on a single host, all you
need is a local directory that is protected to be root-accessible only.
For load-balancing, however, you will need an NFS directory mounted on
all your hosts with 'no_root_squash' (see NFS man pages) option turned
on. Unfortunately, the 'no_root_squash' option is required for
load-balancing because the file system is used to communicate
information about jobs to be run. The default spool directory is under
the default GNU sharedstatedir, `/usr/local/com/queue'.
