I'm not sure what you want can be done; but check the man pages for 
mount_hfs and mount, which allow specifying a node for mounting. It's 
probably not what you're looking for, though.

No, you can do union mounts on HFS volumes too, but -- if I understand 
it correctly -- only the top layer of a union mount is read/write, the 
others are read-only (see tech note 1150). Again, not what your looking 
for...
