Ive seen some ppl drill holes through the live rock and stick pvc through them or make a crate to sit them on, unsure on either method.

My next tank I plan to make the shape/layout of my LR out of egg crate. then drill holes & and use plastic zip ties to hold the LR up. To hide the egg crate & plastic zip ties use black pond foam, over the foam you add crushed coral and LS.
Not sure which forum this method was on I will find it tonight and post the link here.

Checkout "tank of the month" over on reef central...it shows his pvc frame setup. I did mine out of 1/2" pvc with some 90's and T's...I also drilled holes in it.
