Tokina Macro 100mm f2.8 Nikon mount. Will this work on Micro 4/3rds and EOS?

I'm starting to build a camera package, hopefully with all neutral lenses that will work on both Canons and Pannys. Probably mostly manual lenses (Zeiss, Nikons) and those with aperture rings. The exception will be the main zoom lens, which you can't really get around.

I need a Macro lense. I was checking out the Tokina Macro 100mm f/2.8 in Nikon mount. It does have an aperture ring (fortunately), so I'm thinking it should work on both m4/3rds and EOS systems with an adaptor.

Am I correct in thinking that? Here's a link to the lens

Thanks

Also, this lens got really good reviews, but does anyone know if it has a hard stop on the focus ring and how long the focus throw is? I'm not expecting it to be long, but hopefully at least 90 degrees or so.

I'm actually getting this lens mostly for the Macro and 100mm is nice for extreme detail shots (close ups on eyes, mouths, insects, etc..). I'm also trying to avoid an m43 or a EOS mount, because I want to have a GH2 along with the Canons, and want to switch lenses between the 2 without buying 2 sets of lenses. So I figure Nikon mounts are universally compatible as it will work on EOS, m43 and RED.

My 7D kit (Some very nice glass) actually got stolen and I'm devistated, so I gotta rebuild. Fortunately, I have insurance.
 
I have exactly the same question as you, i've looking at this lens for my soon to be here GH2 as it has raving reviews and is quite cheap, and a 200mm equivalent f/2.8 macro lens would be sweet, and it has an aperture ring... if someone could chime in and comment on whether the minimum focus distance will be the same and if it will work as it should on M4/3 mount that would be awesome.
 
With a well made Nikon adaptor there is no reason that this shouldn't work on either m4/3 or Canon.
