AFAICS, not here with 2.6.18.3 with pom-ng-20061124:
(Copy/pase of command sequence and response.)

Linux 2.6.18.3.
# lsmod | grep ip_tables
# iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j MARK --set-mark 161
# iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j MARK --set-mark 161
# iptables -t mangle -nvL | grep eth0
p b targ pr opt in   out src       dst
0 0 MARK 0  --  eth0 *   0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0   MARK set 0xa1 
0 0 MARK 0  --  eth0 *   0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0   MARK set 0xa1 
# lsmod | grep ip_tables
ip_tables              12252  1 iptable_mangle
x_tables               11524  2 xt_MARK,ip_tables

This box does not start a firewall script (yet) and it doesn't have any
NF modules loaded after boot.
