Hi Perry, I have played with Minerva in the past but have only briefly looked at the source. We do have it on the list of other terrain technologies in the FAQ ( http://wush.net/trac/osgearth/wiki/FAQ).
One major goal with osgEarth was ease of integration -- achieved by leveraging as much of OSG's existing terrain support as possible -- standard loaders, osgTerrain, and paged LODs. I think perhaps osgEarth is unique in this respect.
