Selectively Install Testing Repo Pkgs

Is there any way to selectively install and update packages from the testing repo? For example I wanted to get gtk-sharp-2 and keep that up to date with whats in testing, but don't want to get gcc 4 everytime I run a system update.

yeah, put testing last (so and -Syu won't grab package from it) and then do "pacman -S testing/gcc"
