You can start a pool on just a bare linux install with no GPU.
I was thinking about starting one on one of our servers in a VM environment with 20Gb space, 2Gb RAM, 1->1 cpu, and CentOS 5.6

You do need CPU power, because you have to complete several SHA-256 hashes for each work unit you generate.

You have to run bitcoind, pool software, database, apache , cgi(php perl ruby python).
Need more than 500mb memory and 1ghz CPU I think.
