Assuming you did read a lot about the kernel options, and are willing to take 
your chances, the basics are somewhat like follows

sudo aptitude install kernel-package

go into kernel source dir
cp /boot/config-<your kernel version> .config
sudo make-kpkg --initrd --config xconfig kernel-image
sudo make-kpkg kernel-headers
<go get some coffee>
cd ..
dpkg -i <.debs created>

I did this a bunch of times in debian, and were using lilo. You may (highly 
unlikely) have to do something else to make grub realize there's a new kernel 
option.
