You can use a pitlock (or other skewers) with Goldtec hubs.
A cheaper solution (again for use with QR axles) is a trans-x security skewer. Costs a couple of quid and uses a five sided "allen key" to do up. Not nearly as good as a pitlock but still gonna confuse most thieves.
BTW, I have only seen the pitlock locking nuts in 10mm thread - remember that front axles are 9mm.
Also I should emphasise again that switching axles on a hub is pretty easy and would allow the majority of hubs to be used with a pitlock skewer.
