No.  Such mix-and-match is becoming possible with newest versions of apt 
but not on potato.  What you need to do is add a line to get the 
unofficial xfree86 4.1 debs for potato.

# XFree86 4.1
deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf410_potato/i386/
deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf410_potato/all/

Then apt-get update, then select the packages you want.
