Yes, I think so, based on code inspection. It appears that
in_gif_output() in netinet/in_gif.c sets proto = IPPROTO_IPV4 in
the outer header when the inner packet has address family AF_INET.
IPPROTO_IPV4 is defined as 4, which is the right value for RFC2003
compatibility.
I have submitted a PR with a man page update.
