Did you try it out?

Look at http://buildd.debian.org/stats/amd64.txt.  Currently it says 94%
of packages are up-to-date.  This of course does not and will never
contain Sarge for amd64.

You only have to if you want Sarge.  Read
http://amd64.debian.net/~joerg/mirror.html.

Check for existence of dists/testing/main/binary-amd64/ and
*_amd64.deb files.  Or as a trivial way try to apt-get from your
mirror.
