okay, assuming that you've placed linux-2.6.4-wolk2.3.patch.bz2 in /usr,

1.  cd /usr/src/linux
2. bzcat ../linux-2.6.4-wolk2.3.patch.bz2 | patch -p1
3. cp $WhereEverYouPutIt/.config ./
4. make oldconfig
5. make

Hrmm, gentoo stores that file in /etc. Might it be a symlink under
debian, if so, you should be able to

ln -s /etc/modprobe.conf /lib/modules

If you don't have an /etc/modprobe.conf, you might try building a kernel
and do a make modules_install, though I don't know that that will do it
