Hi, 
 
when (re)emerge or emerge -u iptables the dir /var/lib/iptables are removed by 
portage. This is due to thee ebuild doesn't create a .keep file to keep 
Portage from removing it on unmerge. I have only tested this for 1.2.7a and 
1.2.7a-r1

aliz:

you can do: 

keepdir /var/lib/iptables

in the src_install section, I believe
