Is it possible to install a few testing packages on a stable machine?

["Stan Brown" <stanb@awod.com>]

I'm trying to get abcde to work. Turns out that the version I have (from
progen) is broken. The developers of this package say the version in testing
is fine. Probelm is it depends on one more package from testing.

Is there a way I can get this to work?

If so, how?
