  It's part of the kernel. You need to build yourself a new kernel to use
VFAT. Don't worry, it's not as awful as it sounds. =)

Get and install the latest kernel sources (2.0.27?) and do 
  make config
choose "yes" when asked to include VFAT fs support; then do 
  make dep; make install

That should do the trick. You'll also need to have gcc (and possibly other
things) installed properly.
