Looking at the "simplest" model (https://gennaro.zezza.it/software/eviews/glch03.php [3]), there is no econometrics involved, it is "just" about simulation. It would be interesting to see whether the dynamic accounting relationships could be specified in gretl's system block as (dynamic) identities. It's not clear to me whether that is supported by gretl. (Also noting that the doc in ch. 34 says that identities only matter for FIML estimation, so another question is about their role in forecasting.)

The relatively recent addition of lpsolve support (linear programming) might also be relevant here. (See Help / gretl + lpsolve).
