I normally don't do this in sound forge, I usually goto my sequencing program, and it has a tap tempo function, where you tap along on a key and it tells you the tempo.

In Sound forge though, you can select a 1 bar loop, and once you got a good loop going, goto SPECIAL>EDIT TEMPO, and then once you're there put in the "Selection length in Beats" to 4.0 and the tempo will be calculated in the "Tempo in Beats per minute" box. There may be an easier way, but like I said, this isn't where I figure this out at.
