I know the supplied kernels include the configuration file itself.
You should open your running kernel with "vi" and search for
"START CONFIG FILE" string: after that there should be info you need (ipfilter
is defined or not ? or is it commented with an "#"?)

BTW, on netbsd-GENERIC from multicd1.iso the ipfilter is compiled in.
