This should work but, I didn't test it
In fact gforge packaging takes the db upgrade process of debian-sf
plus some more db changes to go to gforge

What you can do is to make a fresh install of gforge on a new server,
Take the install-db.sf script from gforge package,
run install-db.sh dump db_dump_file on the 2.5 server
run install-db.sh restore on the new server
then dpkg -i gforge-db-postgresql should finnish the smooth upgrade of 
your db
to finnish the transfert you can copy /var/lib/sourceforge from your 
ancient server to the /var/lib/gforge of the new one
I then recommend you to re dpkg -i all gforge package to be sure all is 
well set up.

You will then have a test server :)
