AFIK, that was 4.x -> 5/6
OR
Ports, which are bound to be a problem across
major versions.*
Also, 8.x has a recent change which prevents
easy upgrading from early versions of 5/6(/7?).

In any case, I had no problems upgrading to 7 via
normal methods as outlined in /usr/src/UPDATING
for two machines running 6.x
