Unless you have some special requirements it isn't necessary to learn 
iptables.

You can always use one of the fine iptables frontend tools available. 
Mine has always been shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net/).  And, in the 
event that you do have some special requirements, the hooks are there to 
integrate that with shorewall.
