A turret (of reasonable weight) can already be build with the standard kit. http://www.vexlabs.com/vex-robotics-gear-kit.shtml
The larger gears have wholes for bolting onto them. The FIRST Vex Challenge (or at least Half Pipe Hustle's) relatively small size requirement (particularly height) was really the biggest limiting factor in what you could build.
Honestly, I do hope for a vex swerve kit sooner or later, but I want to see what some individuals and teams create on their own, particularly during the FVC.
