Is there a way to match 6 or more occurances of a specific pattern in a string using the 1.x series of maildrop? (i.e. non PCRE)

The man page is very clear about how to count one or more or zero or more, but I'm looking for the equivalent of:

egrep "\?{6,}" <file>

I tried both:

if ( /\?\{6,\}/:h )

and

if ( /\?{6,}/:h )

but neither seemed to work.

Well, they wouldn't. You forgot the \d, (or [:digit:]). \d{6,} should work. Oh, and you don't need to escape "{", nor "}".
