I figured out a one-line version, not using the delimited comment syntax:

	BEGIN { Q:exec ("perl6", $0, @ARGV) if False; die $! if False; }

The trick is that "Q:exec" for Perl 5 is a label followed by function
name, but for Perl 6 is a quote operator with an adverb.  The quote
operator uses the parens as delimiters, taking what's inside them as
string content, so that content doesn't have to make sense as Perl 6 code.

This formulation doesn't readily extend to the shell trick.  In any case,
overall I prefer the version using the delimited comment syntax.
