Code:

SELECT

    count(forumid) AS forums

FROM

    forum

WHERE

    parentid = 5

Replace the "5" in parentid with the ID of the forum that is serving as the category. You'll need to add a prefix in front of "forum" if you have your vB installed using one.

Note that the query will not count sub-forums. Also, you are probably better off using data from the datastore (although this is a little more advanced).
