Ah, I actually did just that on the Tokyo Fixed Dream Machine, it cost me £200.
However Thorn have a similar fork but with 55mm rake for half the cost of a custom;

Problem is, trail won't be that close to a proper low trail (51mm of trail with 28mm tyres and 72 degree headtube*), but no reason why you can't re-rake the fork a bit to bring it closer to 60mm rake (45mm trail), that'll likely to steepen the head angle a bit bringing the trail closer.
*originally the Cross Check fork have approx 62mm trail with 28mm tyres.
