Yes, that should work. Just untar it somewhere, have /usr/src/linux point to
that directory, install the Debian's kernel-package, read it's doc and say
	cd /usr/src/linux
	make xconfig
	make-kpkg --revision local.1 kernel_image
and you should see shiny new kernel-image_2.0.20-2.0.20-local.1.deb in ..

Or you can patch up from kernel-source-2.0.6 (I'm currently at patch-2.0.17).
