You could write a FUSE file system that reads LVM volumes and presents them as regular files... but when it comes to showing the volumes as native devices so that all sorts of device operations can be performed on them (including getting sector size) you don't have any option but to write kernel code AFAIK. With the "devices as regular files" solution you would have zero possibility of integrating it with OS X's utilites, but I think most file system drivers are able to mount regular files too (raw disk images). So you would probably be able to mount these "virtual disk images". It's not the "right" solution though. (Although I have no idea whether any kernel interfaces exist to extend OS X with support for additional second level partition schemes like LVM, ZVOL, VxVM...)
