All the ports that are showing as opened, could be falsely reported, if inetd is running. It is a service routing incomming connections to a given software depending on the accessed port number.
As default it will monitor all well known ports such as nfs/smbfs/ping/telnet/etc. Altho there are currently no active program listening on the specified port, a portscan will reveal it as open.

How ever, given the fact, that you are gettign a report on missing the ip_tables module I would think the case is more likely to be a failing firewall.
