X doesn't get automatically updated by that path; just the base
system.  So your old X setup should work fine; it will be untouched.
Of course, upgrades are *always* a good reason to have an *extra* set
of backups.

 (In my case, this would be from 6.0 to 6.1, whenever the release version of 
 6.1 comes out. I am getting DMA errors in trying to install a second drive, 
 and posts from this list give the impression that changing versions may make 
 a difference.)

It's possible.  Not likely, though; among the several more-probable
fixes, the Most Likely would be a new IDE cable.
