Ward may know more, but here's what I know.

Mac OS X does not have a logical volume manager that can let you split 
a volume across several disks and dynamically resize them, as in Linux 
and many Unix flavors. There are some LVM functions in the RAID 
supported by OS X server.

Veritas made noise about porting their Volume Manager over to OS X 
server when it was first introduced. I've heard nothing about it from 
them since then. It would not surprise me if Apple introduced kernel 
extensions to do this.
