no, you have to fix it up to work with both FF and IE6...
really, when designing a site, you should test in different browsers and operating systems. I test in Firefox, IE6, IE7 and Safari.
And if you want other versions of IE on your computer, check this (http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE) out.

are you using CSS?
you can have it check which version of IE the user has, and make a separate css file for it by adding this after your initial stylesheet in the head:
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link href="ie6stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<![endif]-->

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
lt = less than

fixing up some of your html (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fachky.org%2FACHKY%2F) and css (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fachky.org%2FACHKY%2F) errors may help - although it doesn't really look like these errors will 'break' the site.
when you fix the errors, you're gonna have to either create a IE6 CSS file, implement some IE Hacks (http://www.maratz.com/blog/archives/2005/06/16/essentials-of-css-hacking-for-internet-explorer/) or redesign it to work cross-browser.

fix the errors - sometimes this is the reason for a website breaking in different browsers
