I managed to compile these drivers two days ago against a vanilla kernel 
2.6.15.4.

I created the packages with sh ati-installer<...> --build-pkg Debian/sid, then 
I installed fglrx-driver.deb and fglrx-kernel-source.deb (they are in /tmp).
Next I unpacked fglrx.tar.bz2 in /usr/src (logged as a simple user), got 
to /usr/src/linux, and rebuild a complete kernel and the ati module with 
make-kpkg.

I allready had troubles to build ati modules when I didn't build an entire 
kernel at the same time, I don't remember exactly but the message was that 
something like MODPOST was missing. Does that sound like your problem ?
