if i have not mistaken, the freeswan-modules are kernel modules that you can load as modules as soon as you need. that does not include of course the NAT-T patch since that requires a kernel patch. the userland part would be the software (ie. ipsec) that you run. usually for distribution like RedHat and Suse you can install the modules and userland then you can start using ipsec with basic features included.
