Iptables is just a front end to manipulate netfilter rules. You can enable netfilter in the kernel
│ │ │ Symbol: NETFILTER [=y] │ │ Prompt: Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter) │ │ Defined at net/Kconfig:69 │ │ Depends on: NET │ │ Location: │ │ -> Networking support (NET [=y]) │ │ -> Networking options │ │ Android uses Android.mk files instead of Makefile, but the compilation process itself is the same. In my environment the iptables binary is built under /system/bin/iptables, check in you FS for this file.
