Recompiling your kernel? Recompiling iptables? Fiddling with the startup scripts? Un/Installing netfilter RPMs? The /proc filesystem is a window into the innards of your kernel, so I suspect you've recompiled or loaded a kernel which does not have netfilter support, or you have unloaded all your netfilter modules (I'm not quite sure if that last one would cause this as I don't use modules, but it seems likely).
