One way is to use make-kpkg in order to build a deb of the kernel you
want for the other machine. Then, instead of installing it on the
machine it was built on you take that deb to the other machine and dpkg
-i it there.
Now preparing the deb using make-kpkg is thoroughly documented in
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz
Or did I misunderstood you?
