With the proliferation of new digital SLRs, I'd like to share what I've heard about housings for these future units.

IKELITE:

Nikon D-100: Expect expeditous development of a housing for this unit.

Fuji S-2: This may be the next D-SLR that Ikelite develops (S-1 housing can be done by Ike right now). Based on Nikon N80 body and Nikon lens mount (1.5x mulitplier).

Canon D60: Probably in the future.

Sigma(with the Foveon chip) : Nope.

Nikon D1X: Nope.

AQUATICA:

Nikon D-100: For sure.

No to all others. It takes the aluminum housing guys much longer than Ikelite to develop models. Aquatica still feels this kinship with Nikon. They are developing an aluminum housing for the CP5000 now. They've looked at the Olympus C4040, but aren't going anywhere with it.
