No.

3.x has a totally different storage format and data structure to 4.0 and above and you need to upgrade to a version that can still understand the old data so it can upgrade it.

You should upgrade from 3.x to 4.latest first. Then thoroughly test a 4.x to 6.target upgrade (In theory, this can work, but I've seen it have problems). If it fails, then plan 4.x to 5.latest, then 5.x to 6.target - that should work ok.

You should visit the "manage plugins" section in admin and work through installing the latest version of each plugin you have.
