It would be very unusual to announce such kind of an agreement publicly. We'll never know about the degree of the relationship but Nikon has developed LBCAST sensor for D2h & D2hs in the past. Ok, LBCAST was not a ground breaking innovation but at least shows that it is possible that they can have the ressources to design a sensor.

Huh? We already know that the 12mp CMOS from the D3(s)/D700 is a Nikon design. And that the D3100 has a sensor not matching anything from Sony too.
We also know that Nikon's 6, 10, and 12mp sensors were Sony sensors. And that the D7000 is Sony based is no secret either.
