You can bind-mount any parts of host filesystem into VE.
For example you can use per-ve mount script to bind-mount /opt directory to the
/vz/root/<VEID>/opt.

Moreover I think you can try to bind-mount / to some directory inside VE (for
example to /vz/root/<VEID>/hostroot/), then call chroot inside VE.
