Not yet.  I answered Y to IPCHAINS but not to IPTABLES in my vps kernel. 
Christof, choose one of my kernels that does everything else that you want 
and I can compile it again with IPTABLES support but please do a bit of 
research on which of the items in Netfilter section should be Y.  Right 
now I have Y for IPCHAINS and NAT_NEEDED but not set for CONNTRACK, QUEUE, 
IPTABLES, and ARPTABLES.  Look in the documentation for kernel compilation 
or read up on IPTABLES and how to compile a kernel for it.  Slackware 
10.1, 2.4.31 kernel, may already have a suitable kernel for you to 
experiment with.
