velocipede basically have a set of 2x4 built up as 'tiers' that the forks rest on. (much like how the slc stores theirs)
it works fine... but I like the idea that rachel posted (measuring forks as a volunteer task)
The SLC cooperative has a good system. You can see photos (of their fork setup, and some more general pics of SLC, and a couple other shops) here:

I don't know if they have them sorted or not. Sorting things by size or function (mtn vs road, etc) seems to be a great volunteer or EAB task for us. Our wall o'forks is back up at the back of our loft, so it gets neglected, and it's tough to get to, so when it gets out of control, it's a big project to fix.
