If the bottom of the sink that meets with the countertop has a flat surface area, some adhesive or 100% silicone caulking will do a really good job of holding the sink in place. A stainless sink with a narrow lip that touches the countertop NEEDS clips to hold the sink in place, and all caulking does is seal the junction. But cast iron sinks don't even come with clips, and are just caulked down.
If there are gaps between the sink and the countertop when the sink is set in place, you can fill up a couple of 5 gallon buckets with water and place one in each sink bowl till the caulking cures to close the gaps.
Place the caulking on the countertop, then set the sink onto the caulking. Wipe away the excess till you get a nice clean caulk joint, and then leave it alone for 12 or so hours.
