If you have a proper y+<1 mesh, you should not have problems setting nut=0 and k to zeroGradient. Physically, k goes to zero at the wall with y to some power, so dk/dn=0 or k=0 are equally valid (as long as your mesh is OK, one follows from the other or vice versa). You can check this a posteriori.

For omega I don't know, but I cannot imagine that you want to apply wall functions there. You should look up the limiting behavior of omega(y) for y to 0. I don't know whether OpenFOAM is shipped with these kind of boundary conditions.
