There is. But it is in the non-free section due to the license
problems. You need "non-free" in your /etc/apt/sources.list file and
then you will have it.
sudo apt-get build-dep pine
fakeroot apt-get source -b pine
sudo dpkg --install ./pine_*.deb
Personally, I recommend using 'mutt' instead. It has a free license.
It operates similarly to pine in that if you like pine it is probably
that you would also like mutt. It is a good mailer.

Actually, last time I compiled pine it looked to have 64-bit type
safety issues. I don't know how well it has been ported to 64-bit
systems. (Another point for using a different mailer such as 'mutt'.)
