The atomlab Disk Adapters that thread onto the freewheel threading will work for braking, and you can still have to bolt on a fixed cog to the stock disc-mount. You can use the stock wheel, flip it, bolt on your adapter+disc on one side, and bolt on a cog, and have a fixed, disc-brake equipped 29'er MTB very easily. Even less hassle than you planned on.
I already have a 135mm Surly fixed/free on the way and I'll just build my wheel with that. Not sure if I'm gonna run a disc brake on the fixed setup as I have a Nashbar ss hub that is disc ready. What can I say, I like building wheels. I don't know if we've established what spacing the OP has, I was just throwing my .02 in. You've always been pretty helpful with the 110mm spacing or disc-to-fixed solutions. The atomlabs adapters (their spelling) just blew my mind in how someone comes up with an elegant solution to a problem.
