Xfce 4.10 offers simple 1/2 screen horizontal and vertical tiling that can be bound to keyboard shortcuts (alt+f10 undoes the tiling).
Actually if you don't enable workspace wrapping (i.e., if you disable dragging windows from one workspace to the next) you can tile by dragging the window to the borders.

There's an automatic tiling app for openbox at https://github.com/lawl/opensnap but I don't know if it would work with xfwm.
