Yes.

Daigotsu Bofana: After the first time each phase another player's action targets Bofana: If the action was not performed by a card with (current) Force equal to or higher than Bofana's base Force, the player discards a card. Governor's Court: ... He may choose to target and bow one of his unbowed Personalities. ...

If Bofana's controller targets Bofana with his opponent's action from Governor's Court, that does trigger Bofana's trait (unless the performing Courtier has sufficient force).
