DNS and HTTP (web) are totally separate. Simply set up DNS
so that:

www.domain.com     ----->            111.222.333.444

where 111.222.333.444 is the Geocities IP address.

However, note that this will only work is the webserver at that
IP address recognizes the domain and routes it properly.

If the website is at www.geocities.com/sdas/sertret/sdgsedr then
you'd have to point DNS to your own server. Then search the
archives for how to use an include file in httpd.conf, and put a
set of VirtualHost statements in that virtual site that create
a Redirect Permanent to wherever you want it to go.

Can't fully explain now, but this should provide you with enough
to go figure out the rest on your own. If not, ask again! (And
someone else with more knowledge will answer, since I don't
know much more than this.)
