Not a problem. You need make, gcc, and binutils at a minimum. Good things to have would be libncurses-dev (for menuconfig), TCl/TK (for xconfig), and kernel-package (makes things a LOT easier...). Just apt-get them--if you have apt set up for remote, you're golden: if it's still set up for CD, you should still be fine: IIRC they're on CD1 or CD2. It's possible, but not something to be undertaken lightly: my old 486 took OTO 16 hours to compile a kernel...
