The newest Kernels in Sarge are 2.2.25 and 2.4.20. If you want to use them for some reason but do not want to compile your own one, try to get the kernel images from "woody proposed updates" on ftp.debian.org. They are built for stable and don't have these dependency problems. You can use the packages by adding the server to your sources.list (although this will probably update some more programs available in that section) or get the packages on your own. In my opinion still better than to use pinning, besause if you set it up so that it automatically installs packages from testing or unstable because of dependencies, you can end up replacing some basic packages like libc, and downgrading *that* to stable again can be complicated. If you still want to try it with pinning, take a look at the documentation.
