Yes, there are a variety of open source tools available to accomplish this. I personally like Ansible, but some other popular ones include Chef, Puppet, and Salt. You can find examples on GitHub pretty easily. e.g. https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=splunk+forwarder+ansible&type=

For Unix it's much easier - we have python, Ansible, Chef, PowerShell variations. Not sure how we ended up with all these methods ; -)
