That is a good question, you probably will be OK, you may want to open a 
case with Symantec to confirm.  You could also compress the catalog but 
would not recommend doing that unless you absolutely needed to..

The size of the old binaries that are kept during the upgrades:

$ sudo du -sh pack/*51*
27M     pack/NB_51_4_M
224M    pack/NB_CLT_51_4_M
616K    pack/NB_DMP_51_4_M
34M     pack/NB_JAV_51_4_M
3.9M    pack/NB_ORA_51_4_M
9.4M    pack/NB_VLT_51_4_M

Then you have your EMM database:

$ sudo du -sh /usr/openv/db/data/
65M     /usr/openv/db/data

$ ls /usr/openv/db/data/
EMM_DATA.db  EMM_INDEX.db  NBDB.db  NBDB.log  vxdbms.conf

I think you'll be ok, just remember to turn off cold backups and switch to 
hot backups (w/proper policy when going to 6, and are you going to 6.0MP6 
or 6.5.2(a)?)

Justin.
