There is a ipk that trolltech destributes, qpe-libqtopia-1.6.0 or similar 
which when installed on a 1.5 qtopia will allow a 1.6 qtopia program to run. 
It's fairly small... the libqtopia gives you access to some extra functions 
doucmented in 1.6 docs including PIM data manipulation etc.
I've been developing with the 1.6.0 SDK and distributing libqtopia with my 
app...
