I am looking for a really simple to use CMS that allows you to define content areas in an existing page for a client to edit. Any suggestions for any open source or low cost options?
I've been looking at gpEasy, frogCMS, simpleCMS, CMS From Scratch, CMS Made Simple, etc.

frogCMS got forked into wolf cms wolfcms.org - thats where the devs and that are now.

As in, you have a html site you want to make into a CMS or a CMS that has a template you can just populate easily?
I like concrete5, if its the former, you can just pop in some php to the elements you want editable or the latter it comes with templates.
And its free and has a decent community.

yes, the existing site has one page that needs editable content. In some CMS software you can just define that content area in the existing sites page rather than having a fully templated site of pages controlled by the CMS.

CMS From Scratch looked good but it seems like the development has stopped.

there's also Cushy, but it's not self hosted, you edit from their site...

2nd Perch and Mojomotor. Look at Pulse CMS as well.

Second for 'Pulse' CMS ... if it's a small site. Spend the few bucks for the 'Pro' version though.
