You can try it, but in most cases it is not a good idea. Most of the packages have dependencies which are not available in stable or testing and if you try to get all of them, than after some time your system will be a mix of unstable and stable/testing.... I suggest to get the source packages instead and rebuild them for your environment. Often you'll need to change some versions of deps in debian/control file and do some little hacks, but in general it works much better than installing debs from unstable.
