I've been reading up on namecoin, and I figured I might move a couple of my workers over to it to diversify my mining production. Is anyone else considering/has already done this?

There are quite a few people on the namecoin network mining so I'm guessing that people are doing this. Current difficulty is 2815.22139486.

Namecoin/Bitcoin forex rates are basically the same as the difficulty difference, so you won't really profit much from switching to namecoins.

Lowest trades are about 0.006 bitcoins per namecoin. What does the difficulty suggest they should be trading at?

bitcoin difficulty = 567358.22457067 namecoin difficulty = 2815.22139486 ratio = 2815.22139486/567358.22457067 = 0.004961982 Current price 1 namecoin = 0.0067 BTC How is mining namecoins 19 times less income than mining bitcoins?

I'm considering it, but have no idea how to run a bitcoin miner and namcoin simultaneously on windows. I have a separate machine I could mine namecoins on, but i don't want to waste time on it if lamecoins don't have a viable future...

You can run several mining programs on the same GPU.
If the agression settings (in phoenix' teminology) are the same, they will hash both at the same hash rate.
Should one instance go down (Pool down/problems) the other one will automagically get the full hash rate.
Currently I'm running 3 miners with ~100MH/s each on my single GPU: 100MH/s Eligius 100MH/s BTCguild 100MH/s Namecoin (Bitparking pool, as I don't want to have any wallet files on my mining computer and don't want to have another computer running 24/7 just to host a namecoind)
As written above, namecoins (if you can sell them at 0.006BTC a piece) are currently ~20% more profitable than Bitcoins.

Um, 0.008 is in bitcoins, that 3.80 is the value in bitcoins. So multiply that by the USD rate. I probably shouldn't mention that mining namecoins is good at the moment since it'll drive the price down, but the namecoin network does need more miners.

having looked into it a bit more, this is increasingly seeming like a good idea. The namecoin difficulty has increased a a higher % rate over the last coupe months compared to BTC, so if you mine now and trade in later it looks like a better BTC return than just BTC mining.
So I think I will move a worker over.

Based on the difficulty you could probably assume that not only are people considering it, many people are already on it.

#namecoin on irc.freenode.net has an active community if you want to discuss namecoin things.
