+1 - If it's Alu, then fugeddaboudit - it's toast. If it's steel, though, it could probably stand at least one cycle of being straightened.

That's a carbon fork though, isn't it? What the hell happened to it to cause that bent dropout? If anything significant, I would also be worried about the condition of the main body.
