Not in 3.0 (Woody) there aren't. There are backports available, but they are
not in the standard package sources.

Chris: To answer your original question - you will need module-init-tools to
use the new module setup in the 2.6 kernel series, gcc to compile the
kernel, and libncurses5-dev for "make menuconfig".

Get module-init-tools from www.backports.org; the rest are available from
your preferred Debian mirror.
