gentoo iptables problem

No, you don't understand. There's a binary called iptables, and there
is a kernel module also called iptables, (though if you want to be
specific, that's actually called iptables.co), that you load via
modprobe. If the kernel module isn't loaded, or is not built into the
kernel, or can't be automagically loaded when needed, you can do with
the iptables binary whatever you want, and it still won't work without
that module.
