Or, for those willing to mix brands, doesn't someone make an adapter to put OM
lenses on Nikon cameras?

Steve

No. There have been frequent and long discussions available in the archives. It has to do with the distance from the mount to the film plane. I believe that putting an adapter, no matter how thin, between an Oly lens and any camera puts the lens too far away from the film plane to focus on infinity. Maybe something for the Sigmas of the world to do. Design a thin digital SLR with adaptors for legacy lenses.
