If the offense attempted to GT the FT, the play would be dead immediately when the player stepped into the lane, therefore the GT would be ignored. No T.
Actually, I can think of a few ways where it could be possible for the offense to commit a live ball GT on a FT.

If there is a defensive lane line violation, a subsequent offensive player in the lane is NOT a violation. The ball remains live until the try is made or missed. That offensive player could still commit GT.

There are also a few FT shooters who line up non-center on the FT line. It could be possible for a player on the lane to touch the ball without having their feet cross the line before they touch the ball.
