Do you mean shorewall-tcrules rather than shorewall-accounting? If so,
that file does support ipsets; that's an oversight in the manpage.

Entries in the tcfilters file generate u32 filters which have no ipset
support (nor will ever, IMO). They use (offset,mask,value) tuples
applied to protocol headers and are not part of Netfilter at all. So
tcrules are the only mechanism available that supports ipsets.
