Yes, among other things.  Read the manual regarding all the free energy options.
 Simply setting free_energy = yes will not be everything you need to consider.

g_lie will give you an estimate of free energy; I don't know how accurate it is
relative to a rigorous thermodynamic integration procedure.

Check the mdrun output options (-dgdl)

Just as some general advice, search for Gromacs free energy tutorials.  There is
some good information on the wiki site, and there are some excellent tutorials
out there, most notably one written by David Mobley.  Many users have found
this tutorial to be very informative.
