One way is

class Category(models.Model):
    catID = models.CharField(max_length=20, primary_key=True)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    description = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    def latest_post(self):
        post = self.post_set.order_by('-pub_date')
        if post:
            return post[0]
        return None

and in the template,

{% for cat in forum_cats %}
    {% if cat.latest_post %}
        {{cat.latest_post.title}}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
