Dual Beams and Cannons only go on the front. I think pretty much everything else goes anywhere. Cannons only for escorts and some klingon ships like bird of prey.
In general are turrets only front mountable like regular cannons? I had seen some recommendations in other threads to run a turret in the aft mount.
I got a mk 4 turret tonight and wasn't able to mount it on the aft mount on my escort.
So is it pretty much just arrays only for the aft mount?
Are you entirely sure it was a turret? Because I haven't had any problems mounting mine on the aft mounts (you can mount turrets on most ships - while they use the Cannon line of skills, they technically aren't cannons as far as the game is concerned).
The only weapons that I'm aware of having specific positional requirements are Cannons/Dual Beam Banks (Fore Only) and Mine Launchers (Rear Only). Everything else is fair game in any slot you want to throw it into (my one friend is currently experimenting with 6 turrets on a Star Cruiser for example).
I've got... two characters in Escorts with aft mounted turrets at the moment.

The only weapon types that can be mounted in aft bays are beam arrays, turrets, torpedo launchers and mine launchers.
