I think the problem is that it's uh.... not going to be from that direction; that is, specifically for DW. Neither of these sites have a cross-posting option specifically for LJ, because LJ is too small, and so logically, they wouldn't for DW. What might be a good work around is to have some kind of RSS importing (into a journal), but this would impose issues of authentication. (Also, DW does not yet follow the Metablog API, so you can't crosspost from Posterous, which DOES have a dedicated LJ crossposter, as well as a huge amount of other sites you can x-post to)
Tumblr is pretty much not very difficult, and since you can't see the non-public part already, you had might as well just pull in the RSS feeds you like.
AFAIK, though, wasn't that the plan, for DW to be niche? I'm also not sure that the possibility of Site Culture Lock-in is something that will be greatly affected by the ability to push or login using FB or Twitter; I wonder whether it will have more to do with purely social dynamics on the site itself.
