considering buying a frame with a bent fork, considering that this probably occurred in an accident what else should I look at on the frame to ensure it's otherwise ship-shape?
Steel?
Check under the top and down tubes (where they meet the head tube) for a ripple or bulge.
Assuming the forks are steel, you might be able to bend them back.
