Have you read the 1.6 release notes ?
The update is really painless, mainly because of this note:
There is no need to reset and reboot your repositories. Subversion 1.6 can read repositories created earlier versions. To upgrade an existing installation, simply install the latest libraries and binaries on top of the older ones.
