The .so is iptables(8)'s library (SO="shared object). The .ko is a 
kernel 2.6.x kernel module. Never having compiled iptables myself, I 
don't know for certain, but it seems that the iptables libraries are 
independent of the netfilter drivers. One could probably compile a 
fully-functional[1] iptables on a system with CONFIG_NETFILTER=n ... 
the only requirement being access to appropriate kernel sources.


[1] Fully-functional only under a kernel with CONFIG_NETFILTER=y, of 
course.
