Forums are not going to be detached from Groups. I expect that in future releases, that Groups will be able to contain multiple Forums. Some things to bear in mind:

1) If people don’t contribute to the code, it isn’t going to happen.
2) Expect this to happen after bbPress has been rewritten as a WordPress Plugin (part of what the Automattic crew are calling their “3.org” project). More news on this soon.
