Download and install 6.2R. The just cvsup upto the day you want.  In 
general, and especially in the last while, RELENG_6 seems to have 
been quite conservative in MFC'ing code.  I cant think of anything 
that got merged back that was disastrous.   I have quite a few boxes 
that track RELENG_6 and have had good results to date.
