If you back up all your configuration files and are ready for a fresh
install, you can as well try an update and let us know if it works (no
problem doing the fresh install afterwards ;)

FWIW: I updated my home machine from 4.3 to 6.0 and further to 6.1. I
always let YaST write backups of the configuration files and didn't have
major problems except it broke UUCP. My biggest problem was harddisk
space. I needed to delete stuff on console 2 whilst YaST was installing on
console 1. Seems I need a new machine ;)
