Actually, most of the time the dependency structure between Debian unstable
and testing is such that the packages from unstable can be installed
"straight through" into testing. Look at the apt-get HOWTO for the details on
pinning which allows you to selectively pull in some package via the comfort
of apt-get.

Debian packages of R 2.1.0 do work on testing; my machines fetched the
uploaded packages directly from my local build repository.  Since then,
however, unstable got a new libc and four Debian package of CRAN packages
(Design, Hmisc, tseries and a Debian update to VR) to not yet fit onto
testing for that reason.

Hope this helps,  Dirk
