I can't try this since I don't have a multisession CD, but have you just
tried 'mount /cdrom -o session=2' as a normal user ? I didn't find
anything in the mount manpage that indicates this doesn't work (although
I can imagine it is disallowed for security reasons)
One thing you could try is adding lines to your fstab like
/dev/cdrom /session2 iso9660 ro,user,noauto,session=2 0 0
/dev/cdrom /session3 iso9660 ro,user,noauto,session=3 0 0
or (depending on your local security situation) allow certain users to
execute mount using sudo
