msgboardsoftware => zero, there are tons of good and free opensource msgboards.
hosting => depends on your traffic and other needs.
maintenance = depends on your site and the behaviour you tolerate. If you want your members to behave well and follow your strict rules and you have a decent amount of members and can take quite some time. But you can as well make some members moderator and just sit back and do nothing
In other words: with a freehost (that supports php), someone who knows the basics of some scripting language, a packet of cigarettes and some redbull you'll be up and running in half a day.
(or you buy me a packet of cigarettes and a box of red bull and you'll be up and running within an hour ;))
