AFAIK, it will be RHEL-7.0 only.

I've not tried it, but it might work - you may find you need to update
multiple selinx related packages though - eg policycoreutils and
selinux-policy itself too. There might be other core OS pre-requisites
that RHEL-6 lacks too I'm afraid. You'll just have to see what works...
