If you don't want to pull in the dependencies, you will have to build it
from source, something like this:
# apt-get devscripts fakeroot
$ cd .../src
$ apt-get source snort
$ cd snort-1.9.0
$ debuild
That will create a package in .../src, which you can then install:
# dpkg -i .../src/snort_1.9.0*deb
