If you're brave (or stupid, like me :) you can try getting them from
Debian: ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnokii/

However, since they're compiled for Debian, not Xandros, there's a good
chance that they'll not work/break your computer/insult your granny/etc.

Unless a Debian-based distro keeps its packages fairly close in sync
with Debian, you'll probably have to pull in quite a few dependencies.
Then everything that depends on those dependencies, and so on...
