I have been very happily running unstable/testing for more than six months now

I don't see a reason why that shouldn't work.

The powerpc port has matured very much in the past months (thanks to Dan and
everybody!), there's no big difference to i386 anymore. But I'm sure I forget
about some problems which may come up when installing. ;) Anyway, as your
setup looks very safe against getting completely broken in the progress, you
should always be able to ask back here if they should show up.
Good luck and welcome to Debian,
Michel
