I've recently seen several lens adapters with built in ND filters.

Potentially useful for lenses with odd size or no filter rings..

For most lenses I can't see any advantage in having them there rather than in front of the lens, but it's prompted the thought that it might be useful for IR shots etc to have the ability to fit a filter inside some of my adapters...

Has anyone tried this?

It wouldn't be difficult to machine an existing adapter to  accept a filter inside. Anyone with a lathe could do it. The problem would be finding a consistent size in filters to use.
