I'm not sure about mods, etc, but I have a suggestion about theming:
Looking at phpBB's markup, it doesn't look like the most pleasant job to
change. If you're not locked in yet, I'd highly recommend PunBB
(http://www.punbb.org/), which has much more semantic/cleaner markup
(yes, they appropriately use a table for the forum index)! For me, it's
been extremely easy to theme. You can see some of their markup at
http://forums.punbb.org/.
Hope this helps,
Ricky
