It's actually in the same Makefile:

...
iptable_nat-objs        := ip_nat_rule.o ip_nat_standalone.o
...
obj-$(CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT) += iptable_nat.o
...


The first statement expresses that iptable_nat is built from two object 
files.

The second statement tells that iptable_nat is built depending on 
CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT.

CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT is a tristate.
