We (Lo-lan-do and I) don't have a lot of experience in setup on multiple 
host
This should be possible, and maybe someone who did it will answer you.

I recommend that you use now gforge debian package that was uploaded 
last week in debian unstable.
Debian-SF has merged his code with Gforge code found at http://gforge.org.
The CVS is at savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/gforge/
The bug/patch/feature request trackers are at 
http://gforge.org/projects/gforge/
You can also use the debian BTS for debian packaging specific bugs.

The general idea for multihost is to add some gforge-xxx-remote package 
in the packaging, though it should
be possible in your config to install gforge on one server  and just 
set  the shell server  to the other server.

Let us now the modification you did/need 
You can join us on irc.freenode.net #debian-sf or #gforge

Cheers
