Need to do some wireless captures w/N and would like to swap out stock card in my X61. Since I'm doing captures, throughput is not that critical. I'm planning on using Backtracks/Wireshark. Will an Intel 5100, 5300, or 6200 work in an X61?

I've recently put a 6200 in my x61.
Works fine. You have to either use a lenovo part or flash with a hacked bios to remove the hardware whitelist.

if you want to use the N wireless card in the Intel 5xxx or 6xxx series, then you would need to flash the BIOS with the Middleton's bios, even the Lenovo sourced version won't work.

Do you have a link to the BIOS?
