Yes, there's a PPA[1] for it (documented in the "Getting Started" page on the btrfs wiki at [2]).

You will probably need to add the PPA to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. I'm not sure exactly which URL you need, though. I'd guess that Googling for "Ubuntu Kernel PPA" will get you the relevant instructions. (Or just download the .deb manually from the URL above and intall with dpkg -i). I'd definitely recommend running as recent a kernel as you can -- either the last released (3.3 in this case), or the latest -rc (still also 3.3 right now, but going up to 3.4-rc1 in a few days' time). Both should be available in the kernel PPA.
