Hi Andrew,
we have used OSG and VTK together in some data visualization projects.
We don't use any black magic in combining the two, but our software
might contain some handy code that is usable for your purposes. The
software ("Virtual Reality eXplorer (VRX) and VRmeer Library Open
Source Edition") can be downloaded here:

I'd love to discuss dataviz stuff on OSG, so do contact me if you have
ideas on combining the two.
