The short question is:

will I succeed in installing/upgrading a Woody program on Potato, or will it 
give me troubles?

Answer:

I did this with SANE.
It worked.

Just include the proper Woody sources line in your sourses.list, apt-get 
update, apt-get install <program here>

I would imagine that the Debian dependency tracking system takes care of 
things fitting nicely together.

Mind you, nothing in Woody is tested to be stable, so it's at your own risc.
However, on and off I have seen people saying that their systems are 
Potato-Woody mixtures, so others seem to have success with this also.

I have no experience with Gimp 1.2 or phpmyadmin.
You are on your own there.

Cheers

Johnny :o)
