Using relayd (Services > Load Balancer) or the HAProxy package? If using relayd, then maybe but probably not. relayd hooks in using NAT similar to a port forward but it would take precedence. The moment the frontend is setup it would likely take over the port forward even if you were not ready. If it all happened to work on the first try, then it would be fine. If you're using the haproxy package then that would work fine. It would bind to the outside address directly but the port forward would bypass that. After you've tested it from the inside you could disable the port forward and it would take over from there. Given the choice between the two, I would always take HAProxy.
