How do I do it?

Is this something that takes an act of God to accomplish? Can the posts from an older version be moved to a new forum of a later version?

Also, Can a PHPBB forum be moved into a PHPNuke forum?

I'm a noob at this, so any specific details of this process would be much appreciated...

You can use mysqldump (or phpMyAdmin's frontend to mysqldump if you don't have a shell account) to dump the contents of the database to a text file, then import that text file into the other database (add a "USE database_name;" line to the beginning of the text file, then run "mysql --user=username --password < text_file_name" -- or, use phpMyAdmin. :P).
