I'm not sure whether you're talking about a FreeBSD tarball or about the
kfreebsd-source-* packages[1].

 1. http://packages.debian.org/kfreebsd-source

Using tools like “dpkg-buildpackage” or “debuild” should be sufficient
once you've fetched the debian source package, unpacked it, and possibly
customized it.

Good luck.
