iptables and patch-o-matic kernel patches are now 2 seperate packages.
This ebuild needs some work, but here's the beginnings...

One tiny problem: you need the source of iptables too, I think is completely 
useful if is not compiling the iptables automatically. Also seem that lot’s of 
patch-o-matic logic is kind of fuzzi and sometimes will allow you to patch a 
kernel 2.6 with a 2.7 patch and other funny stuffs.  I propose a rewrite of 
patch-o-matic in portage way.  I don’t know exactly how but I am thinking at 
something that iptables packet will depend and will patch the kernel and 
iptables just using ther USE.

AFAIK you don't need iptables source because you can compile it with extensions use flag.

Err... We have net-misc/l7-filter and net-firewall/ipp2p; there's no way we could support the experimental stuff in patch-o-matic, and patching the kernel in a unpredictable way has a potential of causing lots of trouble for other ebuilds.

WONTFIX.
