Then you can sign up for the RHEL-6 ELS with them.
It is also possible to migrate a live system from SL 6 to RHEL 6, and back. It's a pain in the keister, since there are some conflicting components such as "sl-release" and "redhat-release", and you have to re-install every single RPM in order to be sure of consistent content.
