If the fork legs are tapered I'd be really hesitant to do that. Disc (all hub) brakes stress the fork quite differently than rim brakes do. If fork legs are are evenly sized I might consider it.

I've seen adapters to go between the different mounting standards (IS and post mount?), I've also seen the occasional fork that didn't have ANY brake fitting permantly attached, so mounting hardware for either rim brake or disc brake had to be assembled by the customer. But I've never seen a bolt-on generic disc brake adapter for forks. (there are som for rears though)

Not very likely. Can't see that one attachment point would be enough.
