Are you using 2.6 yet? It's in there: just:

 lonlat.transform(new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"), new
 OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913"));

If not, of course, you can use the forwardMercator and inverseMercator
functions on your commercial sphericalMercator layer. (See
Layer/SphericalMercator.js.)
