I'm looking for a disc brake compatible rear wheel. I have an Avid BB7 caliper and 160mm 6 bolt disc. Are there some common hubs (I was looking at Shimano XT) that don't accept the 6 bolt rotors? I note on one web site that some of the Shimano XT hubs are made for centerlock rotors but I can't yet find out whether that precludes the 6 bolt rotors.

There are XT/shimano hubs that use the standard 6 bolt.

There are also adaptors which let you put 6-bolt rotors on centerlock hubs.
