could you not just use phpbb and delete the UI code for the unrequired functionallity?
surely there are only a few pages that would need changes made.
fair enough it's very a sloppy way of working but you get a strong reliable and secure bb. I would imaging the if as most people write to the best of thier knowledge that a small and lightweight bb may not have the security or efficiency and performance of a more established and proven bb.
(there are exception to every rule though (except for this rule of course))

For a simple forum I'm a big fan of
http://www.minibb.net/
It's a great and simple forum with good features. It should be able to run with an include, but for sure it can be run through an IFrame. Disclaimer - I haven't tried to integrate this into PHPWcms. I have integrated PHPBB using IFrame.
Thank you - and MySQL-Question

Thank you both for your recommendations. I had a quick look at both.
I have a pricipally question. My site is hostet at a public provider. So far I booked 1 MySQL Database - which is used by PHPWCMS.
If I install whatever BB, does it require a second database or does it just create it's new tables?
Thanks a again - and have a great weekend

Well you should be able to use only one database...
inside that you will have
phpwcms_tables.....
and
bb_tables..
