Not that I know of; I just used
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kernel-source-2.4.20/kernel-source-2.4.20_2.4.20-3woody.3_all.deb
and my old 2.4.20 config file. After unpacking the kernel sources in
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20 and cd-ing there:

# cp /boot/config-2.4.20 .config
# make-kpkg binary --bzimage --initrd

and then dpkg -i the resulting kernel-image deb in /usr/src --
granted, this was on an i386, but I don't think the procedure would
differ much at all on sparc.
