The maintainer is likely to direct you to this entry in 5.2.1's
/usr/src/UPDATING:

20030925:
	Configuring a system to use IPFILTER now requires that PFIL_HOOKS
	also be explicitly configured.  Previously this dependency was
	magically handled through some cruft in net/pfil.h; but that has
	been removed.  Building a kernel with IPFILTER but not PFIL_HOOKS
	will fail with obtuse errors in ip_fil.c.


(It's a good idea to look in /usr/src/UPDATING before updating your
system.)

Cheers,

Paul.
