1) Point a browser to <packages.debian.org> and search for dnsproxy in 
the archive "unstable".

2) Find the package you are looking for, and follow the link to the page 
<http://packages.debian.org/sid/dnsproxy>.

3) Find the link for downloading the package for your architecture, and 
choose a mirror.

4) Open the package file and install it. In Maverick it opens with the 
correct program by default, if it does not, you can probably either open 
it with gdebi, or type "dpkg -i package-file.deb" at the command line.

You probably already know that mixing debian and ubuntu is not 
recommended in general, and you seem to have good reason to try it in 
this case.
