Scott,
PBS stores the node list in $PBS_NODEFILE. What you need to do is
add to your PBS submission script a command to edit $PBS_NODEFILE and
create the nodelist file

your_script $PBSNODEFILE > nodelist

here is how I do it

awk 'BEGIN{print "group main"} {print " host",$1}' $PBS_NODEFILE >
nodelist
