Not directly answering your question, but IIRC in Linux 2.4 it was
possible to do stateless NAT with iproute2. That functionality has
been removed in Linux 2.6 because something broke.

However, if you really want to perform stateless NAT with 2.6 kernels
and netfilter, the links above won't help you.
