I looked in to this about a year ago. What I learned is that the required kernel modules are not in CentOS binary kernels, not in source for the CentOS kernels, and not in kernel sources from Linus. You have to apply the "patch-o-matic-ng" patches from the netfilter/iptables project to whatever kernel sources you want to use and then build a custom kernel. Some distributions include the patch-o-matic-ng patches in their kernels but not RHEL/CentOS.
