In one word, no.

Longer explanation (with a bit speculation): B is probably a library of
some sort, which is in testing because the update will break some
packages (thus A in there, too), so the C package that is built against
B in current cannot run if linked against testing's B.
There isn't a C package in testing either because either the devs didn't
got to rebuild it yet, either because it passed unnoticed, or because
this version doesn't build against B in testing and they're looking for
a patch or a newer version that fixes that.
At any rate, you are encouraged to report that in the bugtracker
[ http://bugs.archlinux.org ] and if can't wait, rebuild it yourself
until it gets updated.
