I actually don't know if the short rendez-vous has already been done with only FGB thrusters. I thought the ISS fuel supplies were kept in case of emergencies and thus, only Progress could perform the maneuver (then requiring one Progress on Zvezda's rear docking port).

Orbital Module with Progress MS-04 was transported to the MIK 112 for general integration with its launcher.http://www.energia.ru/ru/iss/iss50/progress_ms-04/photo_11-27.html (in Russian)
