The axle may (or may not) be too fat to fit in your fork dropouts.
I don't think there would be a problem lacing w/ 14ga spokes and probably not even with 15, but some hubs (although I don't believe that one) came with really big spoke holes - I was about to lace up a coaster brake hub with 14ga spokes and the heads passed right through the spoke hole.
These holes look good from here though.

I hope to (pick your deity) that this is for a beater wheel, especially given prices of a basic shimano front hub.
