I'm doing exactly this on a particular server I run, but only for the
kernel. The problem is that the 686-smp kernel in stable has a terrible
bug that won't let it boot on an intel board and processor I've got that
uses hyperthreading. I REALLY needed hyperthreading for the application
I was running so I needed the 686-smp kernel from testing. Everything
else if from stable though.

could you give me
an overview how you blend syncs with the "testing" package tree? Do you
run say 90% of the server from stable packages and only selectively
update certain software to testing packages? On a scale from mostly
harmless to nutball crazy what's the opinion of this package tree
mixing?
It can be done fairly easily. It's called "pinning" and apt supports it
with only a few configuration file changes. See

for a better overview of pinning.
