Besides our migration path unstable -> testing, in which version numbers stay the same; Yes, we do similar if we want to have the same package version in unstable/testing (sid/jessie), stable- (wheezy) and oldstable-backports (squeeze). Usually for official backports we use ~bpo60+X (Squeeze) ~bpo70+X (Wheezy) For my private repository I did similar. To not conflict with official Debian package versions you might consider using version numbers with a prefix, like x.y-0.1~prefix~bpo70+z or some similar solution.
