You would need to setup a /etc/apt/preferences file, add testing to yor
sources.list, and use pinning. Even so libc6 (upgrade) will be a depend
on anythig from Testing. For what you want, it may be safer/easier to
use 'apt-source' and build the few packages you want. If you are lucky
there won't be any depends or only a couple that you will have to also
build. You may need to run 'apt-get build-dep' in order to build your
package, you would get an error message to this effect.
