They need binary blobs?  You can choose to install them via a USB key during 
the installation.  Are you installing from a CD/DVD or using a CD to install 
from the net?

If the former, just install a basic installation and install the kernel 
modules when you have a functional system.  If the latter, you need to use a 
USb key to complete the installation, although I believe taht if you have no 
internet connection, the netinstall CD will still give you a basic system as 
a base from which to install the modules.  

You can then run tasksel and install from there 
(http://wiki.debian.org/tasksel), or you can install each package separately 
via apt.

I have never personally used a USB key during an installation, so I leave 
others to tell you how.
