YES ... sort of ... maybe.  Unless a recent edition changed it the National Fuel Gas Code does not prohibit galvanized piping in gas installations.  Yes, there is a concern about zinc flaking off, but no more of a concern than copper sulphite from reactions between impurities in the fuel and copper in the system.  This is why you need a properly installed sediment trap (aka drip leg) before each appliance.

And remember, this is NOT the way to install it:
