Hrm. A possibility just occurred to me. It'd be a two-part solution, but a bit of creativeness could make it work. You'd need a synch program -- a simple filesystem synch utility that can handle merging text documents, of which I'm pretty sure there are a few dozen out there.
And then you'd need DokuWiki-on-a-Stick.
It's a wiki (duh), plus a micro-Apache installation, that fits on a USB drive. It's fast and the markup is deliberately low-key; the files are stored as plain text on the drive and thus remain human-readable even if the software gets munged. This is also why a simple filesystem synch could do the trick, I'm pretty sure.

I've been using DokuWiki (the stick version, no less) for a couple of years. It's not a full-blown DMS, but it has the security options you mentioned needing (username/password) and meets the 'stick it on a USB drive and go' requirements.
