Yes and No.

Some key configuratrion files are woody specific.  Such as

 /etc/network/interfaces

But if you have working woody version of apt system, you should be able
to downgrade all packages back to potato.  (You get irony here :)

To be honest, I think it may be easier to fix it by upgrading to
unstable.  There were long discussion recently and my web page may help.
