Geoff:

How about some DPW power posts flashed to the roof?  We have done some flat 
roofs like that.  We cut a large (36"x36") rubberized roofing sheet to lay 
over Oatey flashings and mastic down with roofing primer.  We've actually 
fixed pre-existing leaks with this technique.  I could probably come up 
with some pictures...
