Basically you'll want to create a gallery forum. Then in the Control Panel under Portal, you'll use the Gallery Islands to create a Gallery island to pull images from that gallery forum. Once that's done you just edit the Portal Layout and choose that Gallery Island to be displayed in the left column.

In the control panel select Portal>Portal settings.
You then have a field called "Forums to pull news from"
You can multi select each forum to display in the portal.
Then change "Number of news items to display on the Main Portal page?" to however many posts to display.

If you have private forums then don't select them.

The portal page in the center only shows recent topics. At the bottom right of each post is a field called comments that is the replies.
You can add a post island on the side to show recent posts which will show replies.
For moderators goto display options>General>Forum Summary Options and deselect Show forum moderators.

You might need to play with the rss feeds to display on a seperate page or goto UBBDEV.COM and look for a hack to add in.

Not sure what three you are talking about.
They are pretty much standard islands

Yep. You have a few different Island types so enable the one you want and then add it in the portal layout. Poof done.
