Well, their startup scripts both exist by default.  However, you can only 
configure one or the other.  By configure I mean actually create the 
configuration file.... /etc/sysconfig/ipchais, for example.  If you happen 
to configure both ipchains and iptables then only ipchains will actually 
start since "c" comes before "t" and the modules that ipchains envokes 
will clash with those of iptables.

Of course, you could use something like "shorewall" to manage all of your 
iptables needs and then the ipchains and iptables init scripts become 
irrelevant.
