Well it's very easy.

Make yourself a directory above bbPress with any name you'd like, let's say "/about/"

In "/about/" make an index.php with this content:

<?php
require('../forums/bb-load.php');    // change /forums/ to your actual forum path
add_action('bb_head','about_css');
include(bb_get_active_theme_uri()."header.php"); 

function about_css() {   //  put any custom CSS you want in here
echo '<style>
img {border:0;}
</style>';
}
?>

<h3 class="bbcrumb"><a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a> &raquo; About</h3>

<h2>About</h2>

Your "about" text goes here!

<?php  include(bb_get_active_theme_uri()."/footer.php"); ?>
