Faramir: Were you a friend of Boromir?
Frodo: Yes, I was his friend, for my part.
Faramir: Then you would grieve to learn that Boromir is dead?
Frodo: I would grieve indeed.

I am prone to think Frodo had readily forgiven Boromir, since he had begun to understand the corruptive influence of the ring, and, in his humility, could probably see himself succumbing as well. I am sure Frodo's empathy was not limited to Gollum alone.
