It looks like libmapnik-dev-0.6 should be available for squeeze:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libmapnik-dev

I do not know of any particular resources for compiling Mapnik on
Debian, except the usual wiki & trac web pages.

I will take a look getting the latest mod_tile code compile against
mapnik-0.5.1. If the set_buffer_size is the only issue then that is not
too hard to fix with some conditional compilation.
