Just finished an import, and found out that I'd need that /forum/ directory for vB4 redirect.
How'd I come about changing the /forum/ bit to /community/ like here?

If you want to move your installation to a different directory, it's in the FAQ: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/frequently-asked-questions.5183/#post-180455
How can I move my installation to a different directory?
Update the Board URL in the ACP -> Options -> Basic Board Information and move the files to the new directory. You may need to restart the server for the change to take effect.
It really is that simple, there is nothing more to do.

No, Brogan, I think you've got this thread confused with a support thread. I'm not moving my install... Wouldn't need support for that kind of level of configuration setting 
My XF install is in the root directory, that is, site.com/.
I've used Jaxel's XenPorta (this thread) addon to create a portal, and used the remapping option to make / portal, and /forum/ my forums section.
Unfortunately, /forum was a legacy path used by vB4 redirect (since old forum prior to import to XF was in /forum), so I need to map the forums section to a different location. Specifically, /community/ like here.
There is no visible option to do this in the addon, so I am asking the author how I'd come about doing that with minimal edits so it won't be a problem with future updates.

To the best of my knowledge XF has a directory named /community in which the site software was installed. That is how this site is set up. I originally had my site set up the same way.
If you wish to have the same set up as here, I would suggest creating a /community directory and moving your site into that directory.

aya, thanks. Now where to upload it to, please?That's exactly what I did. I shared it a couple posts later
Then what? Ive been reading around the thread and from my understnading I have to move directories around? I want my forums to stay at domain.com/forum and for the portal to be at domain.com and The Set As Index Controller did not helpI know this is a long thread but if you plan on using this module, you really need to read it
Go to ACP > Options > XenPorta and check the box Set As Index Controller.
The portal has to be installed wherever the forum is installed, as per the installation instructions.
I had to move my forum out of the forum folder, into the site root. When all is done, and this add-on enabled, the forum will be in a /forum folder.

It is but if you look at the creator of the mod's website you can see it at 8wayrun.com which is the portal and the creator's forums is at 8wayrun.com/forum and this is what I'm trying to accomplish to no avail
Alright if i place the files and the portal all at domain.com instead of /forum and check the "set as index controller" It will work like the 8wayrun website?
Indeed
...Been reading the thread and praying I dont break any thing when I attempt this. Im going to send everything from the /forum folder to the root of the domain. Wish me luck!
Doesn't look like you did...
What are you seeing? Everything looks perfect to me.
I moved everything over and the portal is now the main domain page BUT the forums did not go to /forum the forum is only accessaible via http://www.domain.com/index.php?forum/
Any idea how to fix this?
