PCTeX is a commercial product. do you mean TeXLive4?

assuming "yes", moving  from TL4 to TL6 is best done by a complete
reinstall. I trust that you have stored local macros, fonts etc
somewhere very clear and distinct?

We will include software on TeXLive if it is

 - free (meets the Debian free software guidelines)
 - not platform dependent
 - relevant to TeX people
 - not too huge (we have little space left)

so I suspect that yes, we would be happy to include your macros on the CD-ROM.
