I run arch linux, and there are a lot of ocaml libraries in the distro's
package repository. Is there any way to make opam interoperate with these?

Currently no, because it would make upgrade of packages quite difficult to handle.

The much simpler odb.ml does not keep its own list of installed
packages, so will interact cleanly with existing installations. That
said, it's not too difficult to just tell opam to install a new OCaml
with new copies of all your current libraries.
