Uuuuhhhh, do you already have all the parts (wheels, cassette, front and rear derailleur, shifters, brakes etc)? Was this bike built as a single speed or was it originally a geared bike? Biggest problem is finding vintage components in good working shape. There are websites devoted to upgrading bikes but you will need a good mechanic to do the conversion. It's not just as easy as trading out the wheels...

Oh no, I wouldn't do it myself, that's for sure! I was actually hoping new parts could be put on this bike. I'm not concerned about keeping it vintage, just want to be able to ride it up and down hills with more than one speed.
