I don't know of any way to detect call-forwarding, unless you put a circuit on
the line, that can convert the touchtone frequencies, and look for a 72# or
73#.  Your best bet, if you have an auto-dial modem on your system, would be
to have your system do the call-forwarding.  If you don't want to bother
hooking up a light to an output port (which is still easier than detecting the
touchtone digits), then you could have your computer display some message in
the status-line (if it has one).  Another possibility is to have the computer
do the call-forward setup and removal at programmed times, ie first thing on
power-up, and at 5:30 or whenever.  If all else fails, hang a big sign over
your telephone: "CALL FORWARDING IN EFFECT!!".  Sorry I couldn't be more help,
but you do have my sympathy, I also make the same mistake, or worse, I leave
the office without setting up call-forwarding.
