You can, but you have to keep gnome-desktop3-data/unstable installed and
not upgrade it to the experimental version
(libgnome-desktop-3-4/experimental will work with either version).

The usual policy for experimental is not to apply artificial increases
to build-dependencies unless the package actually needs the newer
version, so this is unlikely to be resolved until GNOME 3.6 (or possibly
3.8 by then) enters unstable after wheezy is released.
