PHPBB uses it's own homegrown version of "sessions", these are not the session id's that are automatically provided by PHP. Come to think of it, I believe that PHPnuke doesn't use PHP sessions really either, it just writes to what it calls a sessions table to keep track, sort of, of who is on. You really can't unify the two things without redoing the basic PHPbb software and if you did it would get overwritten next time there was a PHPBB update. I don't see where the "bang for the buck" would be in touching either of these.

At some point we should use PHP sessions to store data during a user's session and eliminate the very many unnecessary SQL calls that take place but that's a separate issue and one that's filled with both security and compatibility issues to address.

As far as I know, as fkelly stated, its not possible at the moment to link the phpnuke seesions and the stand alone phpBB forum sessions without extensive additional code.
Of course users to your phpNuke will have a shared session with the built in phpBB forum known as BBtoNuke
