I think the main problem/complication here is Ubuntu uses GRUB2 where
as Fedora only supports GRUB or in updated terminology, GRUB Legacy.
However the OP should have been able to install Ubuntu without
overwriting Fedora's /boot if the partitioning was done correctly.

The easiest partitioning scheme should be something like this,

/boot - for Ubuntu (about 200 - 500 MB)
/       - for Ubuntu
/boot - for Fedora (about 500 MB)
/       - for Fedora

And chainload to boot Fedora.
