I tried running another sysinstall Upgrade without installing X.org and
now I didn't have any errors.  'kernels' was one of the distributions
selected (by default) so I was wondering how *does* the kernel get 
swapped while it's still running.  So I ran another sysinstall but this 
time from the 6.0-RELEASE CD-ROM.  I chose 6.1-RELEASE from Options, FTP 
from ftp.freebsd.org as the source of the distribution, and didn't 
install X.org.  It went OK as the previous one did, but upon reboot I 
still have a 6.0-RELEASE kernel.  So I'm back to wondering how do those 
6.0 .ko objects get replaced by 6.1 .ko's in the upgrade process ...
