I don't think Frodo felt there was anything to forgive - he knew very well what caused Boromir's downfall. I doubt he ever felt anything but grief and pity over the fall of one he considered very noble. It would seem that by the time Faramir makes his revelation that Frodo has already mourned Boromir's spiritual death long before he learns of his physical one. One has to keep in mind the type of character Tolkien paints in Frodo - can anyone imagine this guy bearing a grudge?
