Is there any chance to install VirtualBox on the old kernel (debian-5, 2.6.18-92.1.22)?
Or any workaround without upgrading the kernel? Where can I find old headers?

the old kernel (debian-5, 2.6.18-92.1.22)?
2.6.18-92.1.22 doesnt look like a debian kernel number to me, from where did you get that kernel?
you can search and download debian etch
2.6.18 kernel and
header .deb packages from packages.debian.org

Did you try installing it ? If so, did to face any issues.
I think it should work, the installer creates the kernel modules for you kernel in postinstall. Theoretically it should not be a problem.
