what i would do is ..
you can use the group permissions.,

set it so the group can only reply etc and not post new topics/create

i think that is what you are wanting. you can do that on a user , group and forum set up ie on anyone of those

Is there any way to lock a forum to new topics, yet allow users (not guests) to reply to individual threads?

my real life example at TampaMartialArts.org:

Main Forum: Tampa Martial Arts Schools (locked)
Sub-Forum: Muay Thai & Kickboxing (locked)
Topic:  Freestyle Muay Thai

I want users to be able to reply to topics, but not be able to  start a new topic in either the main forum or sub-forum. Right now, a regular user can't post replies to topics becasue the Forum and Sub-forum are both locked.

This is because I have a specific format I want to use when entering school information, so I don't want users posting that; but I'd like them to be able to comment on individual schools once I've added them...

Thanks,
TMA.O
