This is not specific to Mahout; the best answer here is really Maven. You just depend on Mahout and then specify what version you want -- 0.5, 0.6, etc.
If you're using Maven, you can depend on version "0.6-SNAPSHOT" if you configure the Apache snapshots repo as a source for artifacts. (Though, is snapshot publishing still working? I don't know) You can always build and deploy to your local Maven repo an 0.6-SNAPSHOT build too, if you have some knowledge of Maven. If you're not using Maven, and just sticking in .jars, the simple answer is to check out HEAD, build, and just use the newer .jar files. In that sense it is not any different than any other project artifact in Java.
