You would use OPEN-PIPE instead of SYSTEM, but I don't have an example.

INFILE-EXECUTE is for making any file temporarily the standard input
(so that KEY reads from this file).  But for your problem, you need to
get the output of pwd into gforth.  A pipe does that.

You could use the C interface to call chdir(), getcwd(), and then
somehow chdir() back.
