Yes and no..

Forwarding a domain to another one using a 301 (permanent) redirect is ok, but using a 302 (temporary) redirect could be bad since it could create a "domain hijack" problem..
You can read mroe about that here at webmasterworld.com

If you're using Godaddy's forwarding then it's possible to choose if you want a 301 or 302 redirect now, but until year or so ago they (and most other registrars) used 302 redirects as default so it's a good idea to check that before using the redirect/forward option available through your registrar(s).
