[On a outsider joining an ancestor worshipping clain]

>Can he just be ritually adopted into the clan and become someone elses child
>in a spiritual sense and therefore gain the right to call on his "adopted"
>ancestors?
>Is this what happens when a non-troll becomes a troll ?

Yes. The Men-and-a-half on the Plains of Prax have a similar ritual.

>Is this sort of adoption sufficient to allow ancestral "magic items" to be
>used ?

Yes.

>Is The flame of Sartar such an item?

I don't think so.

>If he is adopted what position do his other blood ancestors take?

It depends. They may become hostile and seek to punish him for his apostacy.
