Ok, I've started doing some preliminary work on this, and added a
manual listing of onion addresses. Tor information is as such included
in the keyserver status listings[0] and in meta pages[1]. In the
process my own SKS cluster is now Tor enabled.

Will look into actually setting up the pool using OnionBalance another
day (need to set up a Gentoo package for it etc), but at least the
framework is in place for the information.
