In router mode (the default), no. But on the other hand, you don't need
gateway routes when running tinc in router mode, and normally gateway
routes do work but the gateway address is ignored (either by the kernel
or by tinc).

If you explicitly want traffic from 172.16.1.0/24 to go to
192.168.0.0/24 via the tinc daemon on 192.168.9.1, you should add
"IndirectData = yes" to the host config file of the tinc daemon of
172.168.1.0/24, otherwise tinc will send traffic from 172.168.1.0/24's
tinc daemon directly to 192.168.0.0/24's daemon, without sending it
first to 192.168.9.1.

You can get more information from tinc using the -d and -D options.
