I'm not aware of any open source interactive ray tracers that vivaciously support third-party scene graphs like OSG.
OpenRT (not open source) has been demoed at the Mercury booth @ siggraph running off a scene graph (possibly OpenInventor (?)). Razor (not open source) is an IRT system from UT Austin which is tightly integrated with its own scene graph (supports collada). We've had some traffic on the Manta (open source) mailing list about scene graph integration. The projects were all outside of Utah so I'm not sure if they targeted a standard tool like OSG.
