The capability was added in 4.0.10 (forwarders) to forward on the license.version file. As a workaround for pre-4.0.10 forwarders, you can configure the following input on your forwarder's inputs.conf:
[monitor://$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/splunk.version]
index = _internal
host=myLWF1
sourcetype=splunk_version
_TCP_ROUTING = *
This will forward the splunk.version file to your indexer. You can then easily figure out what version each forwarder host is running by searching on the LWF hostname and sourcetype=splunk_version.

This is in 4.0.10. release, so if you are there, you don't need to add it.
No, but there are plans to do this in a future version
Hello from the future/present.....past....
Is there now a splunk query to run at the indexer level to display forwarder versions?
