If I'm not mistaken these modules load on demand as you make the associated call. Ie -t nat will automatically load the nat module. If you insist on loading them manually go look them up. /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter. If they are not listed here then the modules have not been compiled with your kernel. Check the kernel HOW-TO on how to do this.
