Toe overlap is a common problem with track bikes. The question really is, does this happen at high speeds or only at very low speeds? If it is happening at pretty high speed then you may want to consider shorter cranks(if you are using anything larger than 165mm) or chopping off your toes.

Otherwise, I don't think a new fork can do that much for your overlap.
