I have been doing some 2D with ODE.

My extreamly simple game (far from done yet) @ 
http://rollerball.sourceforge.net is doing 2D + ODE.

I have applied a patch named Plane2D, I can't remember where I got from but 
google will find it.

You could download the code for my rollerball project and check it out if you 
want. I have the 2d patch in the cvs.

Note, the cvs version is not working (read playable)... but the physics part 
in it works.
