Like I said, Pentax 6Mp have 6.1 million photosites - EXACTLY the same as the Nikon D100, D70 etc. (Because it's the same Sony-made CCD sensor.) So, like all the rest, they have 1/2 green, 1/4 red, 1/4 blue.
It's a fact, though, that a number of stock agencies now say that they require pictures from an 8Mp SLR, so if you want to work for them your choice is made for you.
As has been mentioned above, raw megapixel count is a rather crude measure of image quality, particularly given the different technology used in different sensors, but even if it was a perfect yardstick there would still be very little difference in quality between a 6Mp and an 8Mp image. For the same print resolution, the 8Mp image would only be 15% wider/taller.
