I use gentoo too. Seems that you use the "extensions" use flag, right ? Seems like iptables have build the lib ok, and is loading it ok (since it recognizes the -j TARPIT help) I made a test here, that was to disable the TARPIT in the kernel, and so, I got the same error of you. Your TARPIT is in your kernel as a module ? Try to modprobe it to see if any problem occurs. Once I compiled the kernel with TARPIT build in again, things get back to normal.
