I think all you'd really need is to find some kind of resistance you can use, because your body doesn't know a dumbbell from a barbell from a kettlebell - they just put the weight into a more convenient package. That said - water jugs, bags of groceries (like 2 liters of soda), bags of books etc can all be used to good training effect.
To my mind, a workout might look something like:
Upper Body
Pushups
Rows (If you can find a suitable bar, Inverted rows with your own body, or use some of the resistances listed for bent over rows)
Pike Press (Feet on a bench, with your upper body perpendicular to the floor. Lower yourself til your head touches the floor and push yourself back to start) - or use the resistances mentioned above for shoulder presses
Pull-ups or Chin-ups - This is probably the one thing you will need gear for - some kind of pullup or chinup bar. A decent substitution would be a pullover.
Skull Crushers
Bicep Curls
Lower Body
Squats (more likely than not, Suitcase squats with the resistances mentioned above)
Single Leg Romanian Deadlift (Again, with resistances - or a Single Leg Bridge if you want solely bodyweight)
V-ups
Side Planks
If you want something more metabolic, burpees, mountain climbers and the like are great for raising heart rate.
