No, I don't think I've seen such a thing. It really doesn't look like it would be hard to do, though. > The reason I ask is that I have an Ogg Vorbis plug-in for iTunes that > plays just fine, but it doesn't read the Vorbis tags into the database > when I add an Ogg Vorbis file to the library.

Another option would be to run a server which speaks iTunes' sharing protocol. I haven't paid much attention to this space since doing the initial work figuring out the protocol, so I'm not sure if any of the pre-packaged servers would do quite what you want. The perl module 'Net::DAAP::Server' might be a good place to start looking, or daapd[1].
