Creating the angled workplane would be the correct choice, but actually doing it is tricky. I'm using Inventor 9 and don't know if there's another solution for other versions. Anyway, an angled workplane must be created based on two references: an axis that it will rotate upon and a surface that the inputted angle will be based on.
Your axis is already there if your hole is on the edge of an object, otherwise, you'll have to create your own axis. You can create a line in a sketch, a work axis by two points, or a work axis by a point and a surface (it will be perpendicular to the surface and pass through the point). The surface should be easy to find.
If your hole is on the corner of an object, I would have to call you crazy, but it can be done. Ask if you need more help to do that.
