as there are major version upgrades of almost every component that puts files into those directories, that would be extremely sketchy at best.

I would strongly advise against blindly overwriting /var and /etc (or anything else, with the possible exception of /home) from a CentOS-6 install with CentOS-5 versions. Compare the files and make changes on a case by case basis as required. More work but MUCH less chance of breakage.
