Scary and risky, as others have noted!
There is an official "backports" release kit associated with Debian,
which contains newer versions of many packages which have been
back-ported to be mostly-drop-in-compatible with current Debian
"stable" distribution.
You can find information about it at
http://backports.debian.org/
However, it does not appear to contain an updated release of
glibc - likely for the reasons that other folks have alluded
to (the stability risks outweigh the benefits).
I suspect that unless you're willing to put a lot of blood,
sweat, tears, and toil into the effort of getting the newer
glibc into Lenny, you're either going to have to switch to
the "testing" distribution (Squeeze) or wait until Squeeze
is officially released as the new "stable" distribution
