From my experience:
In general crossing ROS distros is possible, as the framework itself should be patched identical across all active ROS distros. If all dependencies of the packages in question work (either as debs or compiled from source), changed message definitions might be the barricade (you will see warnings on message receive), as that can only be solved by taking over one message definition, updating every node.
Concerning MoveIt!'s alpha status its quite possible way more changed than what you would want to patch. Comparing the repository branches, maybe including big dependencies, might help before trying it out.
