i'm installing a new sink and installing a new 2" drain line that will tie into the 4" main drain line. right now the pitch is much steeper than the 1/4" per linear foot necessary- could that create any problems or is it fine?

Yep, big problem. The water will drain too fast and won't clog! Hee, hee! Just kidding.

If it is after the trap's vent, no problem. If it is between the trap and its vent, big problem.
