The canti thing is true. But as long as the fork is one that can take a fork mounted hanger, the problem can be fixed in about two minutes. A crosser with sorted cantis can out brake any roadbike because of the greater traction of wider rubber - and it won't squeal any more while doing so! There's a canti sticky going up on the cross forum shortly.
Alternatively, you can fit v-brakes with an adaptor. Or mini-vees without one.
