Given that my Debian system is running on bookworm, and backports is configured, what is the recommended method of upgrading the kernel from backports?
$ sudo apt upgrade -t bookworm-backports linux-image-6.5*
Calculating upgrade... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

I thought you could have two kernels installed simultaneously, but apparently no more?
I would expect the stable linux-image metapackage is still installed, and is expecting to handle the choice. If you remove it, then all kernel choices are yours.
ii linux-image-6.1.0-18-amd64 6.1.76-1 amd64 Linux 6.1 for 64-bit PCs (signed)
ii linux-image-6.5.0-0.deb12.4-amd64 6.5.10-1~bpo12+1 amd64 Linux 6.5 for 64-bit PCs (signed)
ii linux-image-amd64 6.1.76-1 amd64 Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
So you cannot install all varieties of 6.5.0.
I did this and it worked:
