You might need to wipe swap.state and let it rebuild the indexes the long way but I doubt it; I haven't done any 2.5 to 2.6 migrations myself. Compile with --enable-kqueue. FreeBSD-6 has a sane threading model which will let you use aufs instead of diskd which will give you much better stability (diskd is known to be unstable under heavy load) but you'll want to run with the latest FreeBSD-6 codebase (just use -stable) and check the GNATS database for the recent bug Anders Nordby found w/ kqueue and AUFS threads.
