Well if you don't use udev at all (I don't) and you are willing to port yaird or initramfs to sarge (yaird was rather easy to backport), then running 2.6.14 and higher is not a problem on sarge. I run 2.6.14 on my sarge systems, and will probably move to 2.6.15 soon. If you do use udev, well you can backport that too.
