Have you tried Squeeze backports, Bob?
http://backports-master.debian.org/Instructions/
It works great for any packages that are there. I did search for a 3.x
kernel, using various terms and couldn't find one. If the kernel you want is
in Wheezy, I am surprised if it is not in backports and my search abilitites
fade with my eyesight.
But you can, by pinning, use just named packages form Wheezy. I have not
tried this and can therefore not tell you how, but it seems to be eminently
doable by the competant!
The Debian users list would be a good place to ask. There are some real
experts on pinning there. But tell them what you want to achieve. There may
be a more debianised way of doing it.
