Doesn't 
    piuparts -d lenny -d squeeze -d sid piuparts_0.39_all.deb
do what you want?

Just tested with current develop branch:

$ ./run-piuparts-git --log-file=p-sTUN.0.log \
    -d squeeze -d wheezy -d unstable ../piuparts_0.42_all.deb

$ grep -E 'Setting up piuparts|PASS' p-sTUN.0.log
  Setting up piuparts (0.38) ...
  Setting up piuparts (0.41) ...
  Setting up piuparts (0.42) ...
3m15.2s INFO: PASS: Upgrading between Debian distributions.
3m15.2s INFO: PASS: All tests.

So this seems to work (at least in the current version).

Or do you want this instead:
Lets assume, testpkg is available in the following versions:
6+squeeze, 7+wheezy, 99+sid, 999+local

piuparts -d squeeze -d wheezy -d sid -a testpkg \
   --finally testpkg_999+local.deb

create squeeze
install testpkg 6+squeeze
distupgrade wheezy => installs testpkg 7+wheezy
distupgrade sid => installs testpkg 999+local instead of 99+sid
install testpkg 999+local

?
