If you have a up-to-date kernel source tree, the configuration is stored in /usr/src/linux/.config. If not, look into your /boot directory, some distrinutions store a config file there, maybe with another name.

It should have shown up in your boot messages:

dmesg | grep quota

RedHat seems to ship kernels with quota support compiled in. It's an option in the "File Systems" section, can't be "modularized".

I'd take a look at the actual /boot/System.map* file from the running kernel. Or just remount some FS with the usrquota,grpquota option and see what the kernel is doing.
