Have a look at the API's...

First one to look at is osg::Polytope, create one of these with a unit
frustum.  This will be in clip space.

Next step transform this Polytope by the projection matrix using the
transformProvidingInverse() method (to transform a plane you multiple
it by the inverse of that matrix), so in our case the projection
matrix transform from eye space into clip space which is the inverse
of the transform we intend, but thanks to the way that planes are
transformed we can just use the projection matrix directly as long as
we use the transformProvidingInverse().  See the src/osg/CullStack.cpp
to see this in action.

Then transform into object coordinates using the same method by
providing the view and model matrices.
