It appears broke on my system.  I unmerged all previous versions of
iptables and merged the most current and now I get fun stuff like this:

--- snip ---
iptables v1.2.4: Couldn't load target
`standard':/usr/lib/iptables/libipt_standard.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

iptables v1.2.4: Couldn't load target
`MASQUERADE':/usr/lib/iptables/libipt_MASQUERADE.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
--- snip ---

Creating a symlink from /usr/lib/iptables to /lib/iptables makes it work
again but obviously its not the correct solution... is /usr/lib
hardcoded into iptables?  the ebuild seems fine, etc.
