Ok, so rebuild the sarge version on your woody machine.
# aptitude install fakeroot
# apt-get build-dep postfix
$ apt-get source postfix
$ cd postfix-2.1.3
$ fakeroot ./debian/rules binary
# dpkg -i ../postfix_2.1.3-1_i386.deb ../postfix-pcre_2.1.3-1_i386.deb
This is what I would recommend doing -- building a debian package
using newer source.

You need some package installed that provides mail-transport-agent.
One option, as you noted, is to install exim and not use it. By the
same token you could install the old postfix and then copy the new one
over it. Using the equivs package is better than either of those
options, but I think building a debian package from newer source is
the best option.
