I seem to be more and more going to a PGP model, and have
to wonder if it's possible to use my GPG key for OTR.

Honestly I think that the absence of many of the PGP features is the
strength of OTR. OTR is so incredibly easy and, in my opinion, the only
current example of strong crypto done right (from the user experience
perspective).

Adding complications such as key sync, key management, revocation etc.
is not what I consider useful for the general case.

Indeed, it completely misses the point. OTR provides repudiable communication. Unifying all your keys would weaken or destroy that property.
