When we went from 5 to 6 our zen theme needed very little, just replaced it with the 6 version and added in a few special theming tricks in the template.php file, fixed with some api changes. A few of the tpl files also had some special code that needed fixing.

Thanks, that's useful. My immediate issue seemed, once I updated the database, to  be that the theme was custom buitl and doesn't exist. It's a sub theme of Zen though so I am going through it line by line as suggested in hopes of 'updating' it to 6.

Make sure your core and contrib modules are at the latest version of
D5 before moving to D6. The same is true for D6 to D7.
Also make use of the devel module and the coder module if you need to
convert a module you are using.  And refer to the
http://drupal.org/update/modules/5/6 documentation.
