Technically anything could be made to fit but usually the expense far outweighs the benefit. There's no 6 speed ready to fit to your engine.

Edit: I was wrong. Don't take your information from Wikipedia!

Hi mate mine is a 2.2 hdi exclusive 2004 mk1 it has the 6 speed box fitted from the factory, but i dont know wether you would need the gearlever aswell for the 6th gate. I know the 5speed gearboxes are the same to look at with the addition of the 6th gear, so yes it will bolt up to your engine ok but you might need the gear lever.
