try this:

/ip firewall nat
add action=dst-nat chain=dstnat comment=“GRE Forwarding” disabled=no protocol=gre dst-address=“YourGatewayAddress” to-addresses=“YourInternalAddress”

Just for your info: GRE is an IP protocol, not a specific port.
And that is why it can’t be done on regular home routers via port forwarding configurations - there is usually an option VPN passthrough.

Anyway, dnat is achieved for a specific address as posted by scotthammersley.
For multiple outgoing sources with masquerade, or if your firewall is dropping unknown forward traffic by default, you also need a forwarding rule in your firewall setup:

/ip firewall filter
add chain=forward comment="Incoming GRE" in-interface=ext_if protocol=gre
add chain=forward comment="Outgoing GRE" out-interface=ext_if protocol=gre
