> Can ODE collide two TriMesh geoms?

In a way that would be useful to ODE - no.

In fact, it (OPCODE) can perfectly detect collision between TriMeshes, but
the hardest part is what to do next - you have to find contact point, normal
and depth. Finding these accurately in real-time is next to impossible (and
you would need some more data about your mesh, eg. face adjacency).
