So you must compile Netfilter into kernel (not a module),
in menuconfig :
Networking options -> Network packet filtering
than you must enable IPTables (as a module if you want), in menuconfig
it's in the submenu of Networking options (IP: Netfilter Configuration)
you can choose from variaty "extensions" to basic iptables,
e.g. modules ipt_limit, ipt_REJECT, ...

I'm using iptables only, see IPTABLES-HOWTO (read it all, there's
explained how firewall works, after you see this it's quite easy
to configure you firewall using 'iptables').
If you just want to "close some ports" and you don't want to know
how it all works, than firestarter seems as a good choice to me.
