This is not planned and I think this functionality is not needed. But let me explain my reasoning.

In order for an anon user to subscribe to a topic/forum they need to provide their e-mail address and they'll need to do it for every single topic they choose to subscribe to.
In order to register on a forum (you don't need to reply to a topic to subscribe to it) only 2 additional pieces of info are needed login name and a password of choice. The consequence of registration is that now you can subscribe with a single link click.

Allowing anon users to subscribe will require the forum to implement some sort of subscription verification scheme to prevent people from subscribing others to the forum's message, etc... Essentially duplicating the forum registration functionaliy.
