it was possible for me, but i had to go through a lot of hassles
installing -CURRENT from within -STABLE.

i used the DESTDIR-switch to install everything to /mnt/ (where my
-current partition was mounted). but mergemaster failed due to a system
call lacking (can't remember which one, i think it tried to start a
programm in /mnt/bin which failed because it was linked against libc.so.5
i fixed that by linking libc.so.4 to libc.so.5 temporarily).
the next pitfall is mergemaster NOT creating files/directories necessary,
thus using it on a clean partition (only installworld'd and
installkernel'd) will fail and you have to create some files/directories
by hand.
