Upgraded forks can make a huge difference in riding enjoyment and safety so I say do it!
That said, I wouldn't consider the forks you linked to. Those look pretty roached to me and I think you could do much better with some KYB or Showa forks.
Honestly, you can make just about any set of forks bolt on. In the KDX community I've seen all sorts of fork swaps done. It's just a matter of deciding how involved you want to get in to it. You need to find one that fits your axle/wheel setup, make the proper spacers to make it fit, or get the axle/wheel off the donor bike. Same with the front brake caliper.
Then you need to see about getting your steering stem pressed out of your current lower triple and see if it can be fitted to the new lower triple. Do a lot of research here to make sure it's close or you can run in to a problem that would require some custom machining which costs $$$.
