You can simply leave out the temperature control circuitry. 
It's just luxury and not really necessary for a VCF. The LM329
cannot be replaced by just a diode. To not use the temperature
control leave out R1-R9, D1, D2, C1. Ground the inputs of A1,
just to be sure.

The cost of the temperature control isn't high though, the LM329
being the main part.

The original Moog VCF schematics do tell you to match discrete
transistors within certain limits. But, why not use the (cheap)
LM/CA 3046? They're really cheap and multi-sourced ic's.

I have made a PCB which I could order for people interested.
Cost: ca US$ 25,-
