I had no problem using the unstable branch for "util-vserver". I needed it,
because the sarge-versions are simply too old.
I compiled a vanilla-kernel (2.6.12.6) with the patch-2.6.12.4-vs2.0.diff. I
did this the traditional way, but the "debian-way" (make-kpgk) should work
too. That way you have your packaged kernel (but I guess you knew that ;) ).
Btw: I used the original config from debian (/boot/config.xxx).
Then I compiled the sources from debian-sid for util-vserver. You can find a
short summary here:
http://linux-vserver.org/util-vserver+on+sarge
Using "apt-get -t unstable" should work too, but I preferred compiling it
myself. When a new version comes out, I simply patch a new kernel and make new
packages from sid's sources and "dpkg -i" them.

I'll have to meditate about this...
