Bingo!  On the debian machine where mport doesn't work:

$  grep CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MULTIPORT /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MULTIPORT=m
$  grep CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MPORT /boot/config-`uname -r`
$

and on a machine where mport does work: 

$  grep CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MULTIPORT /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MULTIPORT=m
$  grep CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MPORT /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MPORT=m
$

So, no port ranges for me unless I recompile.  Thanks!

As an aside, I often check iptables -j <target> --help or iptables -m
<match> --help because other sources of documentation seem more likely
to be out of date.  For example, the pom documentation at
netfilter.org for the recent match is out of date, and says you can
negate almost every option.

Offtopic comment, but the same seems to be true for ext3? 

"There is no ext3 defragmentation tool. An offline ext2 defragmenter,
e2defrag, exists but requires that the ext3 filesystem be converted
back to ext2 first."
