You can use this code (untested, but should work if bbPress is being loaded on that page):

if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ) )

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'topics' );

@JJJ: I think we could allow such attributes in [bbp-topic-index] shortcode too?
