I don't believe it is (any longer) a kernel option

A lot of things are becoming configurable at run time, IP forwarding
is one of them.

# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
0
# echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
#

A zero indicates the feature is off, one means it is on. Use
echo {newstate} > {parameter}
to change.
