Mark,
I'm not an expert frame builder but I believe forks that have disc mounts are built heavier to withstand the twisting forces and are thicker at the point the tabs are welded onto.
While it is probably possible to install tabs on your existing fork I'm not sure it is advisable.
You would probably be better served by simply buying a fork purposely designed for the task.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] fork modification query
I have a nice steel 29er fork to which I'd like to add a disc mount -- anybody out there who can do it or make a recommendation? Can you give me a sense of the cost and the timeframe?
Off list is fine.
