I have searched the web and have not yet found any forum that uses FB on the
backend. I am currently writing my own forum which uses FB (in db design
phase). That being said I understand that future versions of PHPBB will
support FB but there is no timescales available (unless recently released :)
)

I have used phpbb, carbon communities and punbb (fbtalk.net currently uses
punbb with mysql) all of these are very easy to install/setup.

If you do find one that supports FB and is free/open source let me know :-)
it might save me some work.
