kern.version: FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov  3 09:36:13 UTC 2005
     root at x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC

Note, btw that the manpages (at least the one for sysctl) show 
6.1-RELEASE at the bottom, confirming that parts of the base were indeed 
updated.

I'll try to send that a little later but seeing the above, shouldn't I 
just retry the binary upgrade and if so, what precautions should I take? 
  I'm thinking of skipping the install of X.org so that no package 
conflicts turn up.
