Ray,

Not at all. You have full control over the configuration.
My suggestion if to define GFS in $GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl
as the data set you want to use as "GFS" I define it to
be the global 1 degree, but if you are happy with CONUS 40km,
then define it to be the same as the GFS212 entry.For CONDUIT
recipients, the global gfshd (grid #004) is the highest resolution.

NMAP2 uses the model list in $GEMTBL/nmap/mod_res.tbl to
populate the list of available choices. I expand the longer range
model choices that come from NCEP from:
dgex;gfs;gfshd
to
dgex;gfs;gfshd;gfs002;gfs003;gfsthin

But, if you want to ass GFS211 and GFS212 to thatlist, it can either be simply 
done
with a global searsh/replace in mod_res.tbl, or you can regenerate the 
mod_res.tbl file
by going to $GEMTBL/nmap/mod_res and running "mod_res.csh" after editing the
list in "mod_res.awk".
