Have you considered some of the open source scenegraphs?

http://www.openscenegraph.com/ just had a big release, though it's
fairly tightly tied to OpenGL, so it might not be exactly what you
need.  It may be usable without the rendering component, however.
IIRC, it has intersection visirtors and such that are independant of
OpenGL, so the strustures you need might be there already.
