Using an include or portal block

OK, running IPB 1.3 for the forums and GL for the front of the site. Changing my forum is undesirable due to custom forum skins. I want to show the last "x" posts from the forums, but the rss file is named rss.php rather than .xml....can I use either a php include or portal block to display the posts? or will the portal block not work unless it's xml? I have been trying; however, using the IPB SSI file, I keep getting:
Geeklog can not reach the feed at http://www.secrival.com/forums/ssi.php

and with the rss file:
Parse error in http://www.secrivals.com/forums/rss.php: junk after document element at line 2

Anyone have GL running the front end and IPB the forums successfully? I really do not want to have to pay to have someone port my forum skins into styles.

Thanks!

Perhaps you better ask on the IPB support forum how to create a decent valid feed. I tried so submit your feed at Feedburner, but they don't accept it either.
