No it
didn't. I'm fairly certain that VM didn't appear until V7 on pdp-11
or maybe later.
IIRC, adding virtual memory support to UNIX was the project goal for the
CSRG at Berkeley. That was what BSD Unix was all about, and it was why the
kernel image was /vmunix vs. the /unix which was the prior kernel image name.

Paged VM didn't appear until the 32bit Vax. (BSD had it... AT&T (USG) Unix
didn't until SVR2 on Vax and WECO 32 bit processors...
(There was PDP11 support through SysV...)
The PDP11's never got paging (in USG Unix) although overlays were used.
