This is being done already on certain websites. For instance, the charity Privacy International do this [https://www.privacyinternational.org/], forwarding Tor users to https://privacyintyqcroe.onion/. You can implement this yourself, e.g. with an HTTP 301 (Moved Permanently) redirect on your web server, if you detect a matching exit node.
