I just threw this idea out to my players for a once over:
When working towards a prestige class, you may ignore any one pre-requisite.
My thought is that, overall, most of the PRCs we're using (core and Scarred Lands) tend to be accessible at around the 6th level mark, but that the structure you have to build into to pick them up in E6 is a little too strict.
For the most part, the pre-reqs are all things the player is going to WANT anyway, they all basically make sense for the character to have. Furthermore, I think that the basic powerlevel is maintained because even if you were to drop say a BAB pre-req, that same PRC is bound to have a skill or feat pre-req that enforces that level requirement.
