I am unsure, if Raspberry Pi OS is based on Debian or is actually using 
the Debian sources.

You can look that up in /etc/apt/sources.list or a file in 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/

If it contains a line like

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free

or

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free

then it is using Debian sources.
If that is the case, then add a similar line to get the packages for the 
next version:

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

That will enable the packages in Debian testing, but will overwrite a 
lot of packages with an update.

To enable testing only for Puredata, have a look at apt-pinning:

Hth,
Thomas
