No, you don't need Mac OS X Server to use WorkGroup Manager. Just download (it's free) and install the Server Admin tools. Then launch /Applications/Server/Workgroup Manager.app, when you're prompted to connect to a server hit command-D and voila, you're on the local Directory Service. You'll need to authenticate and you'll then be able to set MCX with the Preferences pane.
