If configured, netfilter/iptables uses the syslog facility for logging. With this in mind, the syslog facility is configured to log to differnet files (through syslog.conf) based on a facility.priority pair. See: man syslog.conf. Because of this, you cannot "JUST" log netfilter/iptable events to a separate file without other events of the same facility.priority being logged also. To answer your question - the netfilter/iptable package can be configured to use ulogd, instead of syslog. Then you can log "JUST" iptable type events to a separate file.
