Hmmm ... why would the rules have changed? Only root can manipulate 
iptables rules.

If you mean that an interface changes IP or goes down, I suggest 
scripting something that takes place in that event, such as a pppd 
ip-up or ip-down script or the DHCP client equivalents.

If you're talking about a remote IP changing or something similar, no, 
you will have to write your own script, perhaps run it as a cron job. 
IAC you should be more specific about the problem you are trying to 
solve.
