Yes -stable or -questions will be more proper mail list to ask this :)
If you will not update any ports/packages you should install compat6x 
and then you will be able to run
bash compiled for 6.X.
The upgrade procedure is discussed every time when new major version is 
released, so you can read
this thread - 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-February/040809.html
There is very good explanation what are the problems if you do not
reinstall all of your ports/packages.

But if you follow documentation you will see that you need access to the 
server - via serial
or local, because you have to run mergemaster and installworld in single 
user mode.
So you can't blame anybody just because you try to upgrade without 
following the instructions?

compat6x can help you to run the apps and to postpone the upgrade of 
everything for Monday morning ;)
