That would be an overstatement.  But there are fewer than there are for
other languages, and the ones that do exist often have limited
functionality or interfaces that don't fit in with your existing code,
so you end up reimplementing them anyway.  

Scroll through a few pages of pypi.python.org or
hackage.haskell.org/packages sometime and see how many would be
reasonable candidates for Forth implementation (not all, but at least
some).  Then ask yourself which of those are likely to actually
currently *have* a Forth implementation.  I think there would be very
few.
