No, libvirt needs to add the rules here because otherwise the guest
virtual network would not be guarenteed to be isolated from the host
network.
Messing with iptables rules isn't guaranteed to work either. Esp if the
existing firewall is re-run. SuSEfirewall2 for example runs when
interfaces come or go so it will kill any rules that someone added
behind it's back.
What kind of iptables rules do you need to install?
