    Sure. Just make a backup of the site and database and move it to the sub domain.

    Right, this is very simple...It's as easy as moving your forums from / to /forums/ (or wherever you want them) and then going into your ACP and changing the Forum URL (found in vBulletin Options > Site Name / URL / Contact Details)
