If the forums have useful RSS feeds, yeah, that would work.  I use Kontact; the default feed reader for Kontact is Akregator, which works reasonably well as long as the RSS feed is reasonable (that is, you can get all useful content without having to go to the forum website; if the forum RSS feed requires me to go to the website for essential things like subjects and thread starters, then it's unreasonable).  

Otherwise I find web forums require a complete change in workflow; that is, I have to go look at the website and navigate around, with different interfaces, logins, and paradigms.  I like e-mail when done right (folderized, threaded, etc).  When done wrong it's useless, too, for that matter.
