Yes, it should be possible, this is what you do when you compile the
MOL kernel modules or the wireless-tools package.  You still need a
source tree for your target kernel.  Most importantly, you also need
the source of the modules you want to compile, with a suitable
makefile.  I doubt that you can find sources for the NAT thing outside
the kernel tree, but who knows, I never looked for them so I would not
know.

You have to build from source though, binary modules compiled for
another kernel spell trouble.  They could work if you are lucky, but
the system map is different so chances are they won't.

In all, I see a kernel compilation in your future. ;-)

This being said, it is kind of strange that the LOG target is not
compiled in the stock kernel...
