Except the chain counters, the fedora iptables save file looks like
iptables commands:

*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [50698034:41537099923]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [51677384:30197019451]
-A INPUT -i virbr0 -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i virbr0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i virbr0 -p udp -m udp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i virbr0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT
..

it is not far fetched to edit them (especially if you don't mind that
counter information is lost).
