Just adding unstable to your sources.list can cause a major system
breakage as not only GCJ gets installed from unstable then. A lot of
newer stuff which can break with stuff from sarge.
The way I do this on all my machines is to setup a chroot (with
debootstrap) and use the GCJ in there. Together with bind-mounting /home
you can use your normal working environment mixed with more uptodate
software.
The other solution is to compile GCC yourself but I dont think that
Sarge has a sufficiently new enough GTK for the the gtk peer from GCJ.
You would need to update/build GTK too.

Michael
