Usually when you upgrade from a old version to a newer version, you
are advised to first install new kernel, and then update the userland
with buildworld.
For a downgrade, you would have to reverse that order. So to downgrade:
make installworld
mergemaster
reboot
make installkernel
reboot
You will still need to remove any 6.x libraries that remain after the
downgrade, as it would cause problems when building ports on the
system.
NOTE: I haven't tested this procedure, so use at your own risk.
