The Condor Team has not. Condor, PBS, and SGE are fairly old pieces of
software, and there were comparisons done many years ago, but they are 
very out of date and should not be cited any longer (certainly not for
information on Condor)

If anyone has done a comparison, we'd appreciate having a chance to
review the Condor portion of it for correctness (as the SGE and PBS 
developers probably would as well)

To be fair, it should probably include:
Condor
SGE
PBSPro
LSF
Torque (I think the OpenPBS codebase is done)
XGrid
Sycld's suite (I don't know what it all includes now, it's pretty advanced)

and lots and lots of others... ClusterWorld magazine does cover some
of them, but I've been disappointed by their coverage of Condor in
the past, so I wouldn't treat their coverage as exhaustive.
