From our research, there have been three different free projects to get Facebook Connect with PHPBB3 and all quit. We needed it for our video game project and ended up being able to afford to do so after accepting many similar bounties out there on hire-a-coder sites.
It IS a commercial mod and we are charging for it, but we have a working phpBB3 Facebook Connect Module here.

JFBConnect is another Facebook integration extension for Joomla. It’s actually the one used on the Joomla Extension Directory itself, so you know it’s solid:
