I'm not sure.  You can check to see if they are compiled into the
kernel you are currently running by looking at your /proc/net
directory.

Here's what I've got in my /proc/net directory on a system with
IP forwarding, firewalling, accounting, and masquerading...

boots:/proc/net# ls
alias_types    ip_acct        ip_masq_app    route          tcp
aliases        ip_autofw      ip_masquerade  rt_cache       udp
arp            ip_forward     ip_output      snmp           unix
dev            ip_input       raw            sockstat

Of course, there might be something else going on...

Cheers,

 - Jim
