Well, first off you'll need a host which gives you PHP & MySQL access. If you don't have one already, look around...most offer the Fantastico script installer which automates the installation of PHPBB.
ASO (A Small Orange) is a good choice.

You should know some decent web stuff if youre going to be setting up and customizing a BBS/Forum. phpBB is great and is very easy. You're just going to need a host that provides PHP and SQL support. I'd go with Media Temple (mt) www.mediatemple.net
Their support is amazing and they're such a good company. Decently priced too and you get allll the goods. But if you cant do it, ask a friend to help you with it. It's a piece of cake compared to say Movable Type. Good Luck. PM if you need anymore help.

If you want to do that, get mySQL and PHP and install them on your iBook. I recommend the installer from serverlogistics, but there are a number of ways to get them going on your computer.
Then get a recent copy of the phpBB installer and set it up in your sites folder.
You'll have to get your head around creating databases and users and the install process. You can find out about skinning it and other customizations.
Then when you get hosting the proper hosting and push a button - you'll know what's going on.
