It's possible to do a binary upgrade to 6.1 (or 6.2-rc1 if you want extra bug fixes), with some extra steps. Make sure you install the source tree, then do cd /usr/src make delete-old to delete old files which can cause problems for later builds (this is what the 5.5 install notes warn about). Then you will need to upgrade your /etc using mergemaster (see the docs). You'd have to do both of these steps anyway if you were doing a source upgrade, so you've still saved yourself the time and effort.
