If you don't want to use conntrack in your setup and you want to handle

hashing based on network address + transport bits.

Fix this by removing the fragmentation handling, then assume that
people can select between two hashing configuration for HMARK. One
based for network address which is fragment-safe, one that uses the
transport layer information, that requires conntrack. Otherwise, I
don't see a sane way to handle this situation.
Correct me if I'm wrong here,
If conntrack is enabled hmark don't see the packet until it is reassembled and
in that case the fragmentation header is removed.

So, with conntrack HMARK will operate on full packets not fragments
without conntrack ports will not be used on any fragment

Correct.

You don't necessarily need conntrack for defragmentation though,
we've moved defragmentation to a seperate module for TPROXY. You
can depend on that and get defragmentation without full
connection tracking.
