I guess this is the easiest option if you have no experience with 
compilation of source code.
I hope, the following steps do what you need (I do not run wheezy). If 
not, just ask again :-)

Get the source code of the debian package:
     apt-get source gnuplot

Install the required dependencies for building gnuplot (this can be a lot!):
     apt-get build-dep gnuplot

Change the code like Mojca wrote:
1. copy context.trm to gnuplot-4.4*/term/ (I do not know the exact 
version number)
2. Add #include "context.trm" at the end of file term.h (right before 
the last #endif statement)

cd gnuplot-4.4*
dpkg-buildpackage

Go and drink a coffee...

Install the .deb package manually:

cd ..
dpkg -i gnuplot*.deb

Mark those packages with 'hold' so that they are not overwritten on the 
next upgrade (and this may happen soon on testing):

echo gnuplot hold | dpkg --set-selections
echo gnuplot-doc hold | dpkg --set-selections
echo gnuplot-nox hold | dpkg --set-selections
echo gnuplot-x11 hold | dpkg --set-selections
