I've noticed that basically it runs cvsup + > build world et al.) If it were me, I'd install 7.x in a different partition/slice and leave the 6.x partition/slice alone. Then you have no risk of 6.x files hanging around to confuse the issue, and if you need another patch you don't have to repeat steps 1 & 2.
