When I updated on wednesday I had no such problems:
$ apt-cache policy tetex-bin
tetex-bin:
Installed: 3.0-14bpo1
Candidate: 3.0-14bpo1
Version Table:
*** 3.0-14bpo1 0
500 http://people.debian.org sarge/main Packages
200 http://www.backports.org sarge-backports/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I haven't yet switched to xorg, but IIRC, there are some interesting
improvements for my graphics card in there, so I might do that in the
near future anyway. I don't think that other dependencies from
backports.org would pose any problem for me.
