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.
