I talked to the guy who did the 3-d printer caps and he has already done
a couple of designs very similar to what I was thinking:

There is a 3-d printer in sunnyvale that will do the 1x3 version for
about $23.

A few nights ago, Nicole sent me a link to this gadget, which basically
works as a socket rail for lenses:

Unfortunately, they don't support Pentax lenses. But that did give me an
idea for carrying my lenses. I've been using one of these Matin bags in
the top of my camera bag to carry several of my primes:

I made a quick and dirty prototype using some of the less than wonderful
cheap back caps (they say PK on them)

Which allows me to carry the lenses in my bag like so:

If it seems promising, I'll pick up some of the fotodiox lens caps and
make a better unit, probably bolting the lens caps down to whatever I
use for a base rather than just glueing them down.
If I had a 3-d printer, it would be tempting to make a rail with the
mounts for the three lenses based on this design:
