Yes this is possible. The layout of the forum pages is controlled by whatever style you've decided to use, under the directory styles/style name/templates.
The one you're most likely going to want to customize is overall_template.php.
The best way might be to find a style thats similar to what you want at http://www.phpbb.com/styles/db/ and customize that.
Be warned, the biggest annoyance in developing a phpbb3 style is that it caches everything so your changes don't show up. There's probably a way to turn off caching, but I just delete tpl* from the cache directory after making changes.
