Can OpenVirtuozzo support such things as Nvidia video drivers,
DVB cards,etc?(Which are supported by mainline kernel but require access to HW and/or custom kernel modules)

Do you mean host or guest OS?

1. If you need support from host OS - there is no problem at all. You can download and install Nvidia driver for OVZ kernel or turn appropriate options for DVB in kernel configs and recompile it.

2. I can't see the reason why you can need access to this devices inside VPS, but if you really need you can allow VPS to access devices via `vzctl set` command with one of the following options:
[--devices b|c:major:minor|all:r|w|rw]
[--devnodes device:r|w|rw|none]

I think that there is some kind of bug in the current version. The --devnodes/--devices switch works but the settings are not saved.

They are saved to the *.conf file (e.g. DEVNODES="cciss/c0d1:rw ") for the appropriate VPS but if you stop and restart the VPS, you cannot access the block devices (tested with /dev/cciss/c0d1). If you set the permissions with vzctl again everything works.

Did you try "--save" at the end of the command??

Sure.... it is written to the *.conf correctly but obviously "vzctl start" (or the mechanism after it) does not recognize the settings.
