It does exist, but is not loaded and unloaded as services like vsftpd 
are started, which is unnecessary.

Edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config.  Uncomment and edit the line
#IPTABLES_MODULES=""

to be

IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_ftp"

Then when you reboot or "service iptables restart" the module will be 
loaded.
