It's possible that this could be done through libferris; which would provide
a generalized abstraction layer, allowing the mouting of more than just
tarballs and the like.

http://witme.sourceforge.net/libferris.web/features.html

it claims to be able to mount http, ftp, ssh, dbm, as well as tar files.

I'm not a programmer tho; so I don't know the practicalities involved.
