Something close to it exists - Some Synchronet sysops (myself included) have
been able to set up vBullein to link in with Synchronet's message base via a
NNTP add-on for vBulletin.  It generally seems to work fairly well.  I have
mine set up so that users only gain vBulletin access once they log in as a new
user via telnet and are verified that way.
