Just as the message says, the lisp code in your sawfish package was not compiled for the version of rep on your machine. Potato has an older version of rep (the one used by sawmill 0.27), and woody has a newer package (needed by sawfish 0.31.x). Suggestions: You can try building sawfish from the woody source deb. I don't know if there were problems with the build or if the build daemon just hasn't gotten around to it. Worth a try if you have the time and space. You can install the rep and sawmill packages from potato. These are a bit out of date but they work. The helix packages should be changed to reflect dependencies on specific versions of rep. It might also be a good idea for idorulabs to include rep packages along with the helix ones, if the distributors can't keep up with unstable.
