Did you request an allocation from PCM? If not, then PCM will block you from arbitrarily launching jobs on non-allocated nodes. Print out your environment and look for any envars from PCM and/or LSF (e.g., LSB_JOBID).
I don't know what you mean about "no OMPI application is yet integrated with LSF" - an application would never be integrated with LSF. However, OMPI will configure itself to use LSF as its launcher if it detects the presence of LSF on the system. When that happens, you no longer need to supply a machinefile as OMPI will automatically pickup the list of allocated nodes.
