I haven't installed on Sarge, but on Gentoo it's no problem because installing the newest stable packages is the default ( sarge's are tested much longer with much longer release cycle ). My home dev box is gentoo, all I had to do was emerge mod_python and the mysqldb e-build ( can't remember name ), checkout django from svn, and follow the instructions on the tutorial. This is assuming you have apache and your database engine set up already, but that's really just more of the same. I didn't need to use anything except regular gentoo ebuilds.
