Another idea (hat tip to Blockchain.info support) is you can take the  
visitor's IP address, and at the time of connection, check the list of tor  
exit nodes (somewhere like here:  
https://check.torproject.org/exit-addresses ), and if it matches, redirect  
them to your own .onion site.

You can visit blockchain.info from any Tor connected browser to see it in  
action, works beautifully.
