There are some conversions of Carnival NPCs in the Ravenloft NPC thread.

There's also a write-up of it in the Sword & Sorcery ravenloft accessory "Champions of Darkness" (which you can get pretty cheap at the white wolf online store, or via amazon or ebay). I don't recall that they did any of the NPC's though. The fraternity of shadows has some carnival stuff in one of their "Quoth the Raven" net book supplements too.

The Champions of Darkness writeup is very short and pure fluff/text with no stats. Also, the book has other flaws, which have doubtlessly been discussed over here a few times (hint: search for "Sheriff von Zarovich").

I wrote a few of the Carnival conversions, but I haven't had time to post more (sorry). The real trick to converting the Carnival Troupers to 3.5 is to figure out their Outcast Ratings. In 2E, the Carnival characters halved their Charisma score when dealing with the public, but in 3.5, I think an OR works better. It makes them much more threatening (OR adds to Intimidate) especially the ones like the Hideous Man-beast, or the Brute.
