Great question!  You can certainly run Mindboggle on FreeSurfer output for
earlier versions of FreeSurfer.  In fact, we did this for part of the work
described in the PLoS Computational Biology article:

"For this study we used FreeSurfer v5.1-derived labels and meshes, but the
recently released FreeSurfer version 6 is recommended because it uses
Mindboggle’s DKT-100 surface-based atlas (with the DKT31 labeling protocol)
by default to generate labels on the cortical surfaces, and generates
corresponding labeled cortical and non-cortical volumes (wmparc.mgz) [75
<http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005350#pcbi.1005350.ref075>
]."

I am certain you can run a FreeSurfer command to update the cortical labels
to be in accord with the DKT-31 labeling protocol (
http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fnins.2012.00171/full) and
the new DKT-100 atlas used in FreeSurfer.  I will leave it to others on
this list who have greater FreeSurfer expertise than I to recommend the
appropriate command.

Cheers,
Arno
