bbPress layouts call style.css so your theme is responsive then bbPress too
Yes, certainly, bbPress works well in responsive themes. An example is the Skeleton theme: http://demos.simplethemes.com/skeleton/
It might need some additional CSS to make it actually look the part, but it should look *okay* enough to start.
We’ve had success with making bbPress look great via child themes across a wide variety of Responsive Theme Designs.
Our most popular, of course, are based on Emil Uzelac’s “Responsive” theme (the #1 downloaded theme in WP repository), but it also works great with all of the WooThemes, Elegant Themes, and others.
You can see a sampling (with demos) here: http://labzip.com/product-category/themes/responsive-designs/

So let me get this straightened out. I have a wordpress site that has bbpress integrated. Do I need to use a different theme – a responsive one? or could I just stylize the current bbpress theme to make it responsive?
You can use bbPress with any theme. The trick is to implement some CSS and other formatting in a child theme to ensure it adopts the style of your underlying theme. We’ve been doing this globally for all the woothemes, and many others…it works well.
The CSS required will vary slightly, or greatly, depending on the theme you use. What are you using? Have a link?
