Hi, Im using Drupal 6 and I was just wondering if there are any modules that would allow users to rate content resulting in the best rated being displayed in a small section on the front page.

There are several voting/rating modules. I'd start with five star - http://drupal.org/project/fivestar

Five Star looks nice...But my main objective is to have certain certain content automatically pushed to the front page when it has the most good rankings. Can Five Star do that?

FiveStar is just a bit of UI for the underlying VotingAPI module. This API can provide raw scoring information, that Views can use to sort/filter results on. You can configure Drupal to show a View rather than the default list of nodes, for your front page.

Ok now we're getting somewhere. Are you saying I need to download three different Modules that interact with each other: FiveStar, VotingAPI, and Views?

yes.
voting api does the math
fivestar provides the UI
views provides the ability to create the lists
