You can use a resonating IIR filter for that.
They are very efficient for building a notch or narrowband filters (single out 
a single frequency)
The filter designers in gnuradio can not design it yet for you unfortunatly.
(I am working on source which can design them.)

I do already have an optimized implementation of a resonating IIR filter.
(Several of the taps are +1, -1 and 0)
See:
http://www.olifantasia.com/projects/gnuradio/mdvh/iir/

This filter only uses 2 multiplies to get very nice and narrow filters.

ALso note that the current standard multitap IIR implementation probably has a 
bug, (See my mail with a fix for that in the mailinglist archive)
