Get (and pay for) vBulletin - another php app, but heads and shoulders above phpBB. I'm sure there must be data migration scripts from php. Use the vBulletin database as your site's user base. You can authenticate user logins from CF against the vBulletin user database and you can take registrations and create new users within the vBulletin database from your CF apps. There's likely little that you'd want in a forum that isn't already in vBulletin. The only thing you'll probably want to do is skin it, which is fairly trivial.
