The .so is iptables(8)'s library (SO="shared object). The .ko is a
kernel 2.6.x kernel module. Never having compiled iptables myself, I
don't know for certain, but it seems that the iptables libraries are
independent of the netfilter drivers. One could probably compile a
fully-functional[1] iptables on a system with CONFIG_NETFILTER=n ...
the only requirement being access to appropriate kernel sources.
[1] Fully-functional only under a kernel with CONFIG_NETFILTER=y, of
course.
