Is there an easy way to flag posts in the admin area?

If a user has a role of contributer/author then cannot publish content. What they do is publish content for review.

Then when an editor/administrator logs in there are numbers shown in the left hand side navigation notifying that there is content waiting to be reviewed.

To me what you are asking for is already part of WordPress. If this isn’t functional enough for you can look at Edit Flow Plugin
