It depends.

If your VPS provider uses Xen HVM (or KVM, vmware, or any other full
virtualization technology) then you can pretty much install whatever
OS you want on that, including your
usual-distro-that-you've-tested-to-have-NFQUEUE-support.

If your VPS provider uses XEN PV, then you need to ask your provider
if they allow you to use your own kernel. If you can, then it's quite
similar to full virtualization case. If you can't (e.g. you're stuck
with your provider's kernel), then you need to bug them.

For example, Amazon EC2 supports using your own kernel since 2010:
