I'm not aware of any thing in IPTables (proper or extensions) persay 
that provide port knocking support.  However I would think it trivial to 
have something watch log entries and / or ulog entries and alter 
something.  You will need to think out side of the box, but I see no 
reason that you can't solve this and get it to work.
