Sorry for the dumb question...you have compiled conntrack as a module, 
but is that module (or modules) actually loaded (you can check with 
lsmod)? If not, loading the module should also create the file in /proc.

The module should be called nf_conntrack (load it with modprobe 
nf_conntrack). If not, look into /lib/modules/`uname -r`, look for 
modules with conntrack in the name, and load them.
