if your sources.list in /etc/apt/ are "correct" you can also install a debian package from Sarge or Sid 2.4.27 and 2.6.9.
I think it's the best way.
I'm using this aproach, but would argue it is the best way. Think about this posible situation: for example a security hole was found in <= 2.4.27 which is fixed in 2.4.28 or in 2.4.28-preX. Do we have Debian's 2.4.28? No. Is fix backported to 2.4.18? I think yes, acording to changelog.Debian. Is fix backported to 2.4.27? I don't really know.
It is quite ok for me to use latest available kernel on my desktop machine, but I would stay away from kernel that is several days old on the server.

Please check http://packages.debian.org/testing/allpackages
Since the official 2.4 kernel for Sarge (for now) is 2.4.27 every security update is backported.
