I have a level 1 Nagaji Paladin. I took the "Tusked" trait (via the adopted trait) in order to give my character functional and developed fangs. At level 1, if I full attack with my great sword, do I also get a bite attack? Originally I didn't think so, but a recent discussion on natural attacks made me unsure.

Tusked is not a trait that I'm aware of. If you're talking about the Half-Orc optional thing that gives a bite attack, you can't take that via adopted. Adopted gives you a racial trait--i.e. something from this list here.
If you do get a bite attack though, yes, you'd get the sword attack at normal BAB, and the bite at -5 (though it'd only deal 1/2 str damage if it hits)

Tusked is a trait from Orcs of Golarion that gives you a bite attack. It's not on d20pfsrd.com for some reason.

What the heck, d20pfsrd? This is the second time in about 15 minutes that you've had to explain what something was because it wasn't updated. Weird. Thanks, though.

intuitively it makes sense: you're fighting with two weapons, its harder to do, so you're distracted, and it gives you a penalty.
RAW I can't find anything to support one side or the other. TWF feat and combat section only refer to penalties to main and off hand weapon attacks. The possibility of combining that with natural attacks didn't seem to occur to developers writing the entries at the time.

After further consideration, I change my answer. The attacks would be at -2, -2, and -5.
The penalties from two weapon fighting explicitly apply to specific hands (-6 to primary, -10 to off; changed to -2 to each when you have the feat), and natural attacks use neither hand.
However, using Rapid Shot, for example would be -2, -2, -7. That penalty is applied to all attacks, not just to attacks from specific hands.
