Haven't tested it but this should work:

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.offensive-security.com pwnsauce main microverse macroverse restricted universe multiverse'
wget -q http://archive.offensive-security.com/backtrack.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update

Edit: I think this would work but it appears to be 32bit-only at this juncture. There may be another repo that caters for 64bit but I can't find it.

Edit 2: This works perfectly on a 32bit version of Ubuntu.

Does it work for 64-bits or not (referring to your second edit) ? – Lekensteyn Apr 9 '11 at 12:36
@Lekensteyn No. There's probably some way to force the arch but by default it won't work. – Oli♦ Apr 9 '11 at 17:08
you should remove your second edit (Edit 2: ...) to take away some confusion :) I thought you were sleeping and meant 64bit ;) – Lekensteyn Apr 9 '11 at 17:14
