I pulled the following rules verbatim out of the Official Rules in MLB.com. Saved a lot of typing for me, a lot of time for you, and will answer your question quite well!
10.03 Official Score Report (Additional Rules)
(e) CALLED AND FORFEITED GAMES.
1) If a regulation game is called, the official scorer shall include the record of all individual and team actions up to the moment the game ends, as defined in Rules 4.10 and 4.11. If the game is a tie game, the official scorer shall not enter a winning or losing pitcher.
(2) If a regulation game is forfeited, the official scorer shall include the record of all individual and team actions up to the time of forfeit. If the winning team by forfeit is ahead at the time of forfeit, the official scorer shall enter as winning and losing pitchers the players who would have qualified as the winning and losing pitchers if the game had been called at the time of forfeit. If the winning team by forfeit is behind or if the score is tied at the time of forfeit, the official scorer shall not enter a winning or losing pitcher. If a game is forfeited before it becomes a regulation game, the official scorer shall include no records and shall report only the fact of the forfeit.
Rule 10.03(e) Comment: The official scorer shall not consider that, by rule, the score of a forfeited game is 9 to 0 (see Rule 2.00 (Forfeited Game)), notwithstanding the results on the field at the point the game is forfeited.

If a forfeit results in a win that is not supported by the current score, there are no pitcher's decisions awarded.
MLB Rule 10.03(e)(2)
If a regulation game is forfeited, the official scorer shall include the record of all individual and team actions up to the time of forfeit. If the winning team by forfeit is ahead at the time of forfeit, the official scorer shall enter as winning and losing pitchers the players who would have qualified as the winning and losing pitchers if the game had been called at the time of forfeit. If the winning team by forfeit is behind or if the score is tied at the time of forfeit, the official scorer shall not enter a winning or losing pitcher. If a game is forfeited before it becomes a regulation game, the official scorer shall include no records and shall report only the fact of the forfeit.

First off, why would a team that is winning past the 5th inning ever forfeit a game?
I think if the game was forfeited, meaning that it's not going to be rescheduled and the team forfeiting is going to take an L, the pitcher on that team will be credited with a loss.

no decision, according to 10.03 (e) (2)
"If the winning team by forfeit is behind or if the score is tied at the time of forfeit, the official scorer shall not enter a winning or losing pitcher."

Since he was the pitcher on record he will be given the lose no matter who forefits. Only when the pitcher on record leaves with a tie and it stays that way untill the runners he are responcible for are out is it a no decision.

Since the manager is forfeiting, it would be a ND no decision

I agree, I think that would not be a loss, and not a win, but a no decision.
