I don't use it, and I am on F8, so apply salt as needed.
start by running the following two commands:
yum info gfs2*
ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/gfs*/

That is to say, I think all you need to do to install gfs is:
yum install gfs2*
and then look at all the gfs2 stuff that gets installed in man8.
also the rpm --info of the rpm lists http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/ 
as a related URL, it might help...especially the FAQ entry.

Also I would assume that you already have the kind of storage needed for a GFS 
SAN?

(Note: I think DRBD can fill the bill on shared storage now too.)
