I have been getting some request of late for Leftys on Non-c-dale bikes.
For this season C-dale is offering their own reduction system that will allow you to run certain Lefty forks on 1-1/8 steerer tubes. These sell for $90 and include a headset. They come in 3 sizes, depending on your headtube length.
C-dale won't say which bikes will and won't work. They would rather a go ahead from the specific mfg.
While this is a solid fit, i personally wonder if the headtubes on certain bike can hold up to the added torque that a lefty may apply to the front end.
My personal bike is a Seven Ti frame with a c-dale spec 1.5 headtube. This is what Lynskey is also doing for 2010:

I just got these pics of a EWR with a 2010 Lefty on it. This is a personal bike of the Editors of one of the bike mags.
