Hey Mike,
You can use the same syntax to set the debug level as you saw in the
Cake code.  So after you include the phpBB files put:
Configure::write('debug', '1');
Or even better define your own debug, CAKE_DEBUG and use that instead:
Configure::write('debug', CAKE_DEBUG);

That should overwrite whatever values Cake got from phpBB.  You may
have to mess around to find the best place to put this in your code so
that it has the desired effect.  Your app_controller may be a good
place.
