Force from gravity is relative, sure:

F = G((M * m)/(d^2))

Where F is the magnitude of the force due to gravity, G is the gravitational constant (it is only sort of constant, as it depends on the units used), M and m are the two masses involved and d is the distance between the two masses. The direction is towards the other object.

Also, as Acceleration = Force/Mass, the acceleration is also relative.
