When libc6 2.2.4-1 arrives in woody. Keep an eye on http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/ for the status of that. > 2.

Download ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.2.4-1_i386.deb (and probably the other .deb files in that directory) and install them with 'dpkg -i'. The procedure you quoted with 'apt-get -t unstable install libc6' instead of kde looks like it would work fine too.
