Not really, as he is building on stable, using (I guess) the source from sid, which has the latest version. There is a new distro, Progress Linux [1], which is essentially squeeze + some backports. Their archive has backports [2] of iceweasel, icedove, chromium and other common packages. While I have not used the chromium packages, I did try iceweasel and icedove and it installed OK on my squeeze system. There is also a source repo for the backports, so you can see what changes, if any, from the sid version were made to make the backport work.
