What I suspect is that I will apply SP6a, it will overwrite several hotfixed DLLs from other, later service packs (Office, VS, windowsupdate) but the Registry entries for the hotfixes will show that the hotfixes are still there.....

The SP shouldn't overwrite anything that is newer. It should not affect any application service packs, including Java stuff, Office, Visual Studio, etc. Do not reinstall the Option Pack as the SPs fix Option Pack problems.
