There are a couple of blog addons out there for phpbb. But I'm unsure if that's what people want. The mods would essentially link to another sector of the forum (like the calendar/gallery/classifieds do). On that section would be the front page showing recent journals and so on. The journals themselves are listed exactly as the news on the RPC home page is--most recent topic first with all older ones below it. Is this what you mean? It's not exactly too different from a forum section, save for being on a different page from the forums, being in reverse order, and listing recent entries via a navigation menu.
Alternatively, there's also the option to install WordPress on a separate section of the server like the wiki. However, I doubt this option would be a good idea because it would require people to visit yet another "site" to check on updates. Most people like to just come straight to the forums, see what's new, and then go on their merry way. Putting something in a separate area from the forum completely may detract attention from that simple n' easy route.
Yet another alternative (though I think people said they don't want this even though it's essentially the same as the forum mod) is to simply add a forum category for journals and then set that particular section up so new posts show on top of each other.
