There isn't any specific support for this in the OSG so you'll need to
implement it yourself.  Essentially you'll need to traverse down the
database loading subgraphs until you get to the level of interest then
do your operations on that.  The closest example code to doing this
would probably be the intersection utilities in osgSim such as
osgSim::LineOfSight - these intersection utilities have a helper class
that does the loading as the intersection utility drills down into the
dataset.

The other approach you could take would be to use the naming of the
tiles on disk as a cue to what subgraphs contain the PagedLOD you are
looking for.
