I don't think there is but you can load the ipchains module, and then
run your script.  You'll lose the "cool" features of iptables but you
can migrate to a 2.4 kernel without fear of having to recode your old
complicated firewall.

If you comment the script then the translation itself shouldn't be too
hard.  esp, if you have a "sample" box you can test it on.
