Well I'm not sure about Orochimaru being immortal but now that he has Hashirama's chakra through white zetsu all he really needs is the Sharingan and he would be kinda like Madara 2.0. That being said I can't see him wanting to become a jinchuriki nor does he really need to be. Firstly he fought Naruto on even footing even though Naruto was in tailed beast second state most of the fight. Secondly I don't think Orochimaru would be compatible with any of the tailed beasts (except MAYBE Shukaku). Also even if he got the Sharingan all that would do for him is allow him to copy any jutsu he saw. This would all but invalidate his reason for his experiments so I for one think that Orochimaru just wants to think he wants the Sharingan but he doesn't really.
