You could enable human verification for posting, then disable it for all but one forum by creating this plugin using hook location global_setup_complete:
Code:
if ((THIS_SCRIPT == 'newthread' AND $foruminfo['forumid'] != 2) OR
(THIS_SCRIPT == 'newreply' AND $threadinfo['forumid'] != 2))
{
$vbulletin->options['hvcheck'] &= ~($vbulletin->bf_misc_hvcheck['post']);
}
of course, change the 2's to the forum id where you want CAPTCHA.
