Yes, you're right. It uses an old poppler lib.

Yep, 0.3.2 is for breezy

Do you have a breezy repository in your sources list?
If yes, there shouldn't be _unmet_ dependencies.
Hhhm...

Using a breezy repository evince will get installed plus a couple of 
depending deb's only.

I just installed evince 0.3.2 on a fresh installed hoary box using a 
breezy repository.

Only this additional deb files where installed aside evince:

libcairo1
libglib2.0-0
libglib2.0-0-data
libgnomecanvas2-0
libgnomecanvas2-common
libgnomeprint2.2-0
libgnomeprint2.2-0-data
libgnomeprintui2.2-0
libkpathsea3
libpuixman1
libpoppler0c2
libpoppler0c2-glib

It may be a good idea to 'activate' a breezy repository only for 
this installation and 'deactivate' it afterwards to avoid an 
unstable system due to (dist)upgrade.

Using breezy is not a good idea if you are no very experienced 
GNU/Linux admin... ;-)

At least evince 0.3.2 is worth a try. (c:
