Sure you can make an adapter of sorts for it. You can try how far it has to sit from your camera at a certain focus distance by holding it looking out a window, and a piece of white paper behind it. When you get a sharp projected image, you have the distance it has to sit from the sensor. And the flange distance of your camera mount is known. (44mm).
You should not expect very sharp results, but with lenses like this that is not the objective. The joy of getting it to work, and the character of the lens, that is what it is about.
With such lenses you can even think about designing some sort of tilt and/or shift in the adapter.
Or you can go even further and use the lens to make a flatbed scanner into a camera. Endless possibilities.
