This can be achieved with Carpenter's Blocks. It's a mod that adds angled/sloped blocks to minecraft. You will need to use a lot of them to achieve your goal and the sphere will not be entirely spherical - but it will be a lot better than the Vanilla attempt. One warning: Carpenter's Blocks, when used in large numbers cause significant lag, so whether or not you use this method depends on your PC specs and the size of your roof.
