Of course.  The first thing to check would be whether the version from
sid installs without pulling in other dependencies (in which case the
backports ftpmasters would probably not be interested in a backport).

  package         version depended on     version in squeeze [1]

Conclusions:

 * You would need libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0, libglib2.0-0, libgtk2.0-0,
   libgcrypt11, libstdc++6, and libvpx0 from squeeze-backports or
   wheezy to use the binary package.

 * This would be a candidate for a backport, provided someone's
   interested in making it.

> Aren't backports for squeeze coming from wheezy, not sid, anyway?

Plain backports, yes; backports-sloppy, no.

Another possibility is to build from source locally.  (I might put up
a build in the next few days if I find time.)

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
