Certainly - that's how we build the software.
However, you won't have to do that. Go to
www.rpmfind.net and find the RPM that you need. But even better, I don't think that you need ipfwd, I believe that you can do what you want with ipchains and ipfwadm, and they are both already installed.
ipchains -I input -p 47 -d x.x.x.x -m 1
ipfwadm mfw -I -m 1 -r y.y.y.y
Where x.x.x.x is your external IP address, and y.y.y.y is the box you want to forward GRE to.
