Unless your are going to dial into a malicious ISP, I doubt this will be a problem (AFAIK, but don't quote me).
Most of my servers are stable/testing hybrids, including 2 running 2.4 (and I have been very happy with them). Update your sources.list to have both stable and testing (and make sure you called them that, not potato/woody), and then do an "apt-get install apt". Which will install testing's apt onto your stable box, along with any dependencies. Then add this to your apt.conf file: APT::Default-Release "stable"; You can then install packages (and dependencies) from testing via "apt-get install ssh -t testing". Otherwise packages will be pulled from stable.
