The idea is supposed to be that just having "ipsec" in DISTRO_FEATURES brings in what we can to support IPsec, assuming your image uses packagegroup-base that is. I'd be more than happy if we went the other way and decided that IPsec was something worth fully supporting in OE-Core, and brought in the corresponding user-space bits as a result; but that's somewhat outside of the scope of this work.
