Although the answer is yes, it would be easier to handle this with an other small hack so I'll give you this solution instead of this hack's solution:

Edit global.php, find:

PHP Code:

 $getforum=verifyid('forum',$forumid,0,1);
if ($getforum['styleoverride']==1 or $bbuserinfo['styleid']<2) {
    $codestyleid=$getforum['styleid'];
  } 


After that add:
(If you want to apply different style set for specific user)

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']==X AND $forumid==Z) {$codestyleid=Y;} 


(If you want to apply different style set for specific usergroup)

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==X AND $forumid==Z) {$codestyleid=Y;} 


Replace X with userid (first code), usergroupid(secondcode) while you replace Y with your style id and Z with the forumid.

It works like this: If user is X and he visited forum Z, his style will change to Y
