Actually, I don't think there is a tutorial on bbtonuke skinning pre-say, However, utilizing one of the above links I gave and combining that with a PHPBB Theme tutorial may work. However, there are changes necessary to be made to a phpBB style prior to integrating it into the Nuke theme.
I had a write up by mikem that showed how to convert PHPBB styles to work in a nuke theme, I'll see if I can't dig it up.

## How to upgrade a Nuke6.0 theme with matching ##
## phpBB ported Forum 2.0.6 template. ##
## ##
## YourTheme will be the example name of the theme/template ##
## used for reference only in this tutorial. ##
#####################################################################
Perform these steps on your Computer, not on your FTP
Then upload your Theme pack when your done.
You first need to create a folder named
forums
in the themes/YourTheme directory
In modules/Forums/templates/YourTheme
copy all the contents
Paste all the files you just copied into
themes/YourTheme/forums directory
You can delete the admin folder in the forums directory once this is done.
you can then delete
modules/Forums/templates/YourTheme entire folder and contents
Since Nuke 6.5 does not need the Forum template anymore.
You must leave the Style selection in the Forum Admin configuration
set as your regular template in your
modules/Forums/templates/YourTemplate
This SHOULD be subsilver(leave subsilver in your modules/Forums/templates
folder, and do not change that setting in Forum Admin, EVER!!!)
The Forum will use the Default template that is shown in the
Forum Admin configuration to display the Forum Admin pages ONLY.
Your Forum Admin template will not change with your theme selection anymore.
If that doesn't make sense, trust me or email me at - ha right
Nuke will use the themes matching template from it's forums directory.
If that directory DOES NOT exist in your themes/YourTheme folder, then
the theme will revert to the Default template for the Forums.
You should now have in your Themes folder the following
themes/YourTheme/theme.php and other files
themes/YourTheme/images
themes/YourTheme/forums
themes/YourTheme/style
#####################################################################
files that need renamed.
Look in:
themes/YourTheme/forums/
rename:
YourTheme.css
to
forums.css
also rename:
YourTheme.cfg
to
forums.cfg
Do a FIND/REPLACE in all the files in
themes/YourTheme/forums/
for
YourTheme.css
they need to be changed to
forums.css
#####################################################################
Look in forums.cfg
delete all instances of
modules/Forums/
#####################################################################
Look in theme_info.cfg
Change these lines:
$YourTheme[0]['template_name'] = "YourTheme";
$YourTheme[0]['style_name'] = "YourTheme";
$YourTheme[0]['head_stylesheet'] = "YourTheme.css";
to
$YourTheme[0]['template_name'] = "forums";
$YourTheme[0]['style_name'] = "forums";
$YourTheme[0]['head_stylesheet'] = "forums.css";
#####################################################################
In themes/YourTheme/forums/
Path changes need applied to all files:
change all paths from
modules/Forums/templates/YourTheme/
to
themes/YourTheme/forums/
and also change paths from if they exist
templates/YourTheme/
to
themes/YourTheme/forums/
#####################################################################
NOTES:
overall_header.tpl in the themes/YourTheme/forums folder
You may need to add a </td> </table> closing tags.
The footer maybe broken in some templates. Just check it.
You'll know if the footer is broken. When you change to your theme
and go to the Forums, the Nuke footer jumps all the way up to
right under the Forums.
The bodyline, forumline and background color of the Forum may need
some attention in certain templates.
look in:
themes/YourTheme/forums/forums.css
or
themes/YourTheme/forums/overall_header.tpl
for references
One last thing. I've noticed the themes in Nuke6.5 when you
have the forum template included with them. They don't use the
Forums css style sheet. Instead, it uses the css code that is in
most of the overall_header.tpl files in most templates.
If you run into color problems with BG colors etc. Try copying all
your css style sheet css code to your overall_header.tpl file, overwriting
the css code that is already there.

WARNING! This is not an official Nuke theme changes list from
Nuke6.0 to Nuke6.5. Use it at your own risk. I am not resposible if
you break anything.
