It all depends on what libraries you have installed. Many installations 
of the gd library include gif read support.

What is the output of
<?PHP print_r(gd_info()); ?>
on your sever?

The patent that prevents the inclusion of gif support only applies to 
the use of LZW compression when writing a gif, so in general, read 
support is not a problem. Also check out libungif
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libungif
which saves gifs w/o compression avoiding patent issues. Also note that 
the worldwide patent expires on July 7, 2004, so things might turn 
around after then.
