Move to Squeeze, at least partially.  Much of my system is still Lenny, but 
I've pulled KDE 4 (and dependencies, all the way down to libc) from Squeeze by 
using pinning.  Read (man 5 apt_preferences) for details and test with (apt-
cache policy) or (apt-cache policy $package).  My setup is documented at 
<http://iguanasuicide.net/node/4>.

No, and I doubt it will be in the future.  It current requires too many 
libraries to be upgraded for it to be installed, and I don't think the team 
has time to change this, if it is even possible.
