Try doing a search on BBS or Bulletin Board Systems instead of Forum style boards.. Your probably only going to find mailing list style boards or you could just try to use mailman, which keeps an archive of email browseable by any internet browser, but the users mainly use email to exchange questions and answers.
The perl-based YaBB forum doesn't require a full DB support, I think. It's a bit more difficult to install than a PHP based forum, but it doesn't absolutely require an SQL style DB. It can also work on a flat-file based DB model. You could try using that.
