It is possible to run packages from unstable in a mostly woody system.
I am not an expert, but I run mostly testing with some packages from
unstable.  I have the following in /etc/apt/preferences:
------------------------------------------------------------

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 50

and the following in /etc/apt/sources.list:
------------------------------------------------------------

deb http://http.us.debian.org:80/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ woody/updates main contrib non-free 

deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free

# So that "apt-get install -t unstable libsane" works
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
