As far as I know you need Oracle Wallet, and Oracle Wallet needs Oracle Internet Directory --->you need both Infrastructure and Mid-tier. OID sits in the Infrastructure layer, by default.

We administer several installations with midtier/infrastructure/portal on one server. Usually the customer sooner or later regrets having put everything on one server. Please note you will need a separate OHS (=Apache) for Midtier and a separate OHS for Infrastructure, and OHS is CPU-intensive.
And yes, OHS may hog the server, especially if all communications are SSL.
