A node can be created using a standalone server profile, e.g. for ease of administration, however this will be limited as a "Single Cluster" topology. For instructions, please see
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dmndhelp/v6r2mx/topic/com.ibm.websphere.wesb620.doc/doc/tins_federate_ss_node.html
A standalone server can not be federated into an existing cluster, but "deployment environments" are a good way to create a topology from scratch in the deployment manager.
See

and

for a more detailed discussion on topologies.
Thanks for your input, Dave.
Topology patterns of WESB/WPS are always puzzling headaches 'cause we can hardly hands-on real configuration which requires multiple machines.
Thanks again for your great input.
