No.  Source-upgrading to 6.X can only be done from 5.3-RELEASE (or newer
RELENG_5).  So somebody trying to do a source upgrade from 4.X needs to
do it in two steps.

But in general for such a "large" upgrade I'd strongly urge backing up
all data, wiping the disk(s), and reinstalling + restoring.  (For what
it's worth, I specifically recommended this in the 5.X Early Adopters
Guide.)

Cheers,

Bruce.
