EDIT: You may be able to add the feature to your vB version by editing /includes/adminfunctions_options.php, I'll download 4.0.8 and see if I can find the changes needed.

EDIT 2: Find:

PHP Code:

        // just a label
        default:
        {
            $handled = false;
            ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('admin_options_print')) ? eval($hook) : false;
            if (!$handled)
            {
                eval("\$right = \"<div id=\\\"ctrl_setting[$setting[varname]]\\\">$setting[optioncode]</div>\";");
                print_label_row($description, $right, '', 'top', $name, 50);
            }
        } 


Add above

PHP Code:

        case 'forums:all':
        {
            $array = construct_forum_chooser_options(-1,$vbphrase['all']);
            $size = sizeof($array);

            $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting] = $vbphrase[closed];
            print_select_row($description, $name.'[]', $array, unserialize($setting['value']), false, ($size > 10 ? 10 : $size), true);
        }
        break;

        case 'forums:none':
        {
            $array = construct_forum_chooser_options(0,$vbphrase['none']);
            $size = sizeof($array);

            $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting] = $vbphrase[closed];
            print_select_row($description, $name.'[]', $array, unserialize($setting['value']), false, ($size > 10 ? 10 : $size), true);
        }
        break; 


Find

PHP Code:

                else if (preg_match('#^usergroup:[0-9]+$#', $oldsetting['optioncode']))
                {
                    // serialize the array of usergroup inputs
                    if (!is_array($settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]))
                    {
                         $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = array();
                    }
                    $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = array_map('intval', $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]);
                    $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = serialize($settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]);
                } 


Replace with

PHP Code:

                else if (preg_match('#^(usergroup|forum)s?:([0-9]+|all|none)$#', $oldsetting['optioncode']))
                {
                    // serialize the array of usergroup inputs
                    if (!is_array($settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]))
                    {
                         $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = array();
                    }
                    $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = array_map('intval', $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]);
                    $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = serialize($settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]);
                } 


This may or may not work and is entirely untested / unsupported!
