sure!

# aptitude

then use '/' to find a package

search for '^xserver-xorg$'.

hit enter on that entry, go to the bottom of the screen, there should be
more that one version available. hit '+' on the version you want. then
'g' and 'g' as normal. after the install, find the package again and hit
'='.

all done.

(i have gone through a lot of aptitude docs and everytime i do, i find a
great feature)
