I'm interested in installing a real hardwood floor over a cement slab in my house. I'm looking at oak tongue and groove planks that are various lengths and 3 1/2 inches wide. Instead of using adhesive underneith the planks to attach it to the cement slab can I lay a foam underlayment/moisture barrier down and then put the hardwood planks down over it and only glue the oak planks at the tongue and groove?

what you want is an engineered hardwood floor that can be floated.
DO NOT install a solid hardwood floor below grade !
Engineered offers roughly twice the dimensional stability, especially ifon concrete when moisture could be a concern.
