You could try installing the linux-source package, which places a 
tarball in /usr/src that you unpack yourself. You could then take the 
config for your current kernel, and run a kernel build in that source 
tree. I don't think it not having speakup will matter, as speakup 
doesn't touch the area of code you need to build the module.

I would then attempt to compile the module against that source tree.

Hope this helps.
