Hmm, I tried this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} /topic/114-php-and-xml/
Redirect 301 /forum/index.php http://mysite.com/forum/php/31-php-xml.html

Which works, but also sends the query string to the redirect address >_<

Think this will work:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} /topic/114-php-and-xml/
RewriteRule ^forum/index.php$ http://mysite.com/forum/php/31-php-xml.html? [L,R=301] 

You might need to escape the . in index.php as well, not sure.
