What would be the proper way of upgrading a Debian system (2.4 kernel,

Is editing /etc/apt/sources.list (replacing stable with sarge) and
apt-get updating + upgrading supposed to do the job?

Yes it is. Hope you know what you're doing with all consequenzes.
Anyway if you would only like to update several packages thing about
backports(.org). Or make yourself familar with pinning.

I echo this. You should really enable apt pinning and keep important services such as SSH and your MTA in stable/woody so that you will get timely security updates.
