This is probably more of a networking question than a OpenVZ question so please feel free to jab me in the eye and tell me where to go with it...
In our company it's much easier to get a CNAME alias for an IP added than it is to get a brand new IP and host name.
So, is it possible to put all VE's on my HN in a private network but make them accessible from the outside world via the HN IP?
Ideally, I would like to have a CNAME alias in our corporate DNS for each VE that points to the HN IP and have the HN route to each VE based on the destination host name.

Not really. AFAIR for SMTP there is a dedicated gateway (MTA running) with (my guess) some map table, which forwards messages to VEs according to rcpt to: domain name. It should not be difficult to write the HTTP proxy which proxies to VEs according to host: header. FTP/POP3 - not sure, but you get the idea.
