Seems like most of the carbon forks I was reading about a while ago had steel steerers.
My aluminum bike has a steel fork. (and my steel bike has a steel fork)
I rode an all-carbon road bike, and honestly I felt more road vibration than I did on the steel bikes I was testing. But that puppy was SO LIGHT.
Edit: I don't know much about geometry, but it seems that half a degree difference in an angle wouldn't make a huge change. If you think it will mess you up, could you ask your fork-builder to build a smidge more trail into your new fork?
