can the GK special aegis rule (any GK unit targeted by a psychic that requires "a dice roll" can be nullified ...) be used against a force weapon special ability

well its a psychic test that targets a GK , so i belive you can.

That is correct; the Aegis special rule can be used against a force weapons roll to insta-kill/kill outright. However, all ties for this roll-off go to that attacker, which means that an Aegis roll functionally gives a unit a 5+ save vs a psychic attack directed at that unit, and has no effect on psychic powers that do not have a psychic test and/or that do not target the Aegis protected unit.
