its trickier if the thing you're drilling isn't flat

The best approach is to make it flat before you drill it, by milling a spot face.

True. I meant more that if you lay the forks down they won't be in the perfect position to drill the brake hole. So you'd have to line up and clamp. Rather than a flat piece of wood or sheet metal where you just plonk it on the the drill table and go for it.

Yes, you definitely want the steerer in a V-block on the mill table as a starting point for work holding.
