I think you want,

$ aptitude search '?installed ?origin(backports)'

While you're at it,

$ aptitude install aptitude-doc-en

and read /usr/share/doc/aptitude/html/en/ch02s03.html

The syntax seems wonky at first but it's incredibly powerful. Mostly, it's,

$ aptitude search '?filter ?otherfilter(regex) ?nextfilter'
