The main problem will be how to determine what to load and how to stream it efficiently. Take a look at the GigaVoxel stuff, that's out already, and I've seen it, it really works :) Well, getting the size of a voxel to a pixel is easy if you have a hierarchical data structure — the oct-tree has no finite depth per se.

Take a look at the GigaVoxel stuff, that’s out already, and I’ve seen it, it really works :)

They can get the size of the voxels to a pixel?!?!? amazing stuff, just get ready for the amount of storage required. :) but who cares thats half the fun.
