I don't think so. I had the same problem on i386, and it seems that
the non-free part of the kernel source is not there yet.

I got a nondebian kernel-2.6.11 tree, and copied the tg3 files over.
You will also have to fiddle with the Makefiles and Kconfig, but in
the end it worked fine.

This probably means that you have a generic kernel package install
(kernel-image). You should install a specific kernel version, such as
kernel-image-2.6.10-k8 instead. Another option is to hold back the
kernel package.

Other people may disagree, but I would recommend to stick with a 32bit userland.
