If you got your kernel with your distro, check out the documentation that
came with your kernel package, or the distribution's website.

You could also try running the appropriate commands and seeing if they
work.
If they come up with error messages such as "could not open
/proc/net/ip_masquerade" then the kernel has not been configured with
ip_masquerade. If it can't open /proc/net/ip_portfw then you haven't got
portfw - but there may be a module for it in /lib/modules/<version>/ipv4
