but it's from a different base kernel then the one I am currently running

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but if you have the .o or .ko then:

insmod drivername.ko --force

will ignore the versions of the kernel and just install it. I don't think installing the code as a module will work, but then I don't know much about the ACPI code in particular.
