From http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/10/google-is-now-available-with-go... "For those of you who’ve already started using Google+ with a personal Google Account and would prefer to use your Google Apps account, we’re building a migration tool to help you move over. With this tool, you won’t have to rebuild your circles, and people who’ve already added you to their circles will automatically be connected to your new profile. We expect this migration option to be ready in a few weeks, so if you’d like, you can go ahead and get started with your Apps account today and merge your connections once the tool is available." Once that tool is complete, you should be able to merge/migrate your gmail G+ account to your Google Apps account. You can already do so with most of the numerous other Google properties.

Keep in mind that if you want to publicly post on Google+ using your Google Apps account, you will need to change your account name to conform with Google's definition of "something that looks kind of like the thing on your government photo ID".

Google officially* repudiated that, saying it was nothing new, just their old promise that eventually they plan to offer pseudonym support if they can solve the technical problems. * By "officially", I mean that Google+ VP Vic Gundotra commented in Mike Elgan's post that Mike was correct. That's about as official as Google gets when it comes to the policy.
