Yep.  Just point your sources.list at testing, and you'll gradually
drift down to the level of testing.  Bear in mind though, that some
things in unstable aren't going to reach testing anytime soon, so you'll
be high and dry with them, not getting any updates at all.

Other than that, there should be no problems.  If you find you want to
keep some things at unstable level (like GNOME2 or Mozilla) then search
the debian-user archives for 'apt pinning' to find out how.
