The simple, but annoying, answer is that there's no good way to do this.  I encourage you to file a bug requesting that Mac OS X engineering make the relevant private APIs public.

<http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/>

As to workarounds, your options are rather limited.  The only approach that is likely to be compatible in the long term is to write (or acquire) code that implements this browsing on top of the system's networking APIs.  This tends to get very ugly very fast.  For example, to show all the volumes available on a server, you have to log into that server (because the volume list changes depending on your login credentials) and implementing the login handshake is tricky.
