Right now, I'm compiling all netfilter modules as modules in the kernel. I'd like to only have to compile only the ones I use, but I'm not sure which ones those are.

Code:
# lsmod | grep ^ip
ipt_TOS                 1920  12
ipt_REJECT              5376  4
ipt_pkttype             1312  4
ipt_LOG                 5600  9
ipt_state               1504  9
ipt_multiport           1600  0
ipt_conntrack           2048  0
iptable_mangle          2080  1
ip_nat_irc              3280  0
ip_nat_tftp             2704  0
ip_nat_ftp              3952  0
iptable_nat            20908  3 ip_nat_irc,ip_nat_tftp,ip_nat_ftp
ip_conntrack_irc       70192  1 ip_nat_irc
ip_conntrack_tftp       2832  0
ip_conntrack_ftp       70960  1 ip_nat_ftp
ip_conntrack           28232  9 ipt_state,ipt_conntrack,ip_nat_irc,ip_nat_tftp,ip_nat_ftp,iptable_nat,ip_conntrack_irc,ip_conntrack_tftp,ip_conntrack_ftp
iptable_filter          2144  1
ip_tables              14912  10 ipt_TOS,ipt_REJECT,ipt_pkttype,ipt_LOG,ipt_state,ipt_multiport,ipt_conntrack,iptable_mangle,iptable_nat,iptable_filter


Now my question is, do I need the modules which are being used by 0 other modules? For example, I don't run a ftp server, so do I need the stuff related to ftp?

Go to www.tldp.org adn look up one of their two netfiltering HOWTOs. One of them tells you what you need and what you don't need depending on what you want to do.
