OpenLayers does not currently have the capability you are looking for.
(Essentially, this would require having a map in two different
projections, which is both difficult technically and more complex than
just making it work for Google.)
This functionality is something that I would like to see at some point,
but it's non-trivial implementation, and implementing it in a way that
is:
* Generally useful
* Doens't hurt the general case
is kind of hard.
