the forks are 35.15mm and they fit but i am wondering about running the spoke wheel with drum and how that would work? is there a certain type of xs650 forks that would work for this application or is there just one type of xs650 35mm

There is more than one size. Only the early (1970 & 1971) fork lowers will work with a drum hub, and to the best of my knowledge, it has to be a hub that matches. 34mm forks were used from 72-76 (generally speaking, as there are some slight differences in the 72 & 3 vs 74-6's) & 35mm are 77 & up. Chances are that the hub you are using is a honda of some sort being they work together. Got pics?
It would not be very hard to adapt disk lower legs to a drum brake, you would need to fabricate a stay (torque) arm similar to the one on the rear drum. The caliper mount tabs would support a stay arm with no problem.

dude.....
true...and probably some shims if the axle spacing was incorrect.
