The way I'd tackle this would be either:
1) Just modify some static geometry directly, then dirtyBound(),
dirtyDisplayList() on the associated drawables.
2) Create a osgTerrain::TerrainTile based terrain which will provide
you with a HeightField representation of your terrain, and use a
custom osgTerrain::TerrainTechnique that implements shader based
displacement map, to dynamically update the heights of tile to match
the HeightField. Passing in a HeightField as a vertex array, or a
vertex texture would allow you to stream the height field efficiently
enough that you could update it dynamically on each new frame.
