You're correct, I hadn't install the iptables bootscript as I hadn't seen it in the documentation either.

I installed them but still get zero stealth ports.  The scripts seemed to install properly but how do I know they're working?  Any other ideas?

Did you install the iptables bootscript? I can't see where it tells you to install 
the bootscript. If you didn't install the /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables bootscript, 
download a copy of the current blfs-bootscripts and make install-iptables
