See pages 66-67 of OpenVZ User's Guide. In short, here it is.

You just enable device access for a given VPS, like this:
vzctl set NNN --devnodes sdd1:rw --save

Next, you create the device file (you can just cp /dev/sdd1 
/vz/root/NNN/dev)

Next, you mount your partition from inside a VPS as usual.

You want it to be dedicated to a single VPS, or you just want to access 
some other network via it?

In the first case, see page 68 of OpenVZ User's Guide. In the second 
case, use it as you would do on a normal Linux box, i.e. add IP, proper 
routes and everything should work.

Exactly.
