I don't have any CentOS4 box handy to check it out, but it seems like 
the kernel module is missing.  Netfilter has two component, userspace 
(in /lib/iptables) and kernel (in your kernel's directory under 
/lib/modules).  The userspace as packaged by Red Hat often has many more 
modules than actually supported by kernel.
