Chris,
Thanks. I just heard from Sachin at Cisco that "This is planned for the
next 6500 release (SXH) expected in Q2CY07"

 From the 12.2SR release notes:

"Although Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA is intended to run on Cisco  
7600 series routers, you can run this release on Cisco Catalyst 6500  
series switches. Before you do so, ensure that the hardware  
components and the software features that you require are compatible."

prod_release_note09186a00806c096f.html

AFAIK there are no hardware differences to date between the 6500 and  
7600 chassis models that affect software compatibility, with the  
possible exception of the 7603 not having a fabric bus. And the 7604  
requiring SXE5. And... :) back to your specific question, SRA1 should  
work fine on a 6500.

That said, I believe BFD for BGP is slated for SXG; I'm sure Roland  
or any other cisco.com addresses here can provide more detail.

HTH,

-Chris
