I don't know about potato, but in woody, the easiest way is:
(as root)
# apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18 kernel-package fakeroot
(now login as normal user, after adding him to group 'src')
# cd /usr/src
(move old sources out of the way, and delete/rename 'linux' symlink)
# tar -xvjf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2
# ln -s kernel-source-2.4.18 linux
# cd linux
# make xconfig
# fakeroot (time) make-kpkg --revision=marcelo.0.1 kernel_image

now installing your new kernel (as root, of course) is as easy as
# dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.18_marcelo.0.1_i386.deb
