For the time being, I've decided to go the regexp route. It looks like
this works:
# dump 'em out as pretty-print
my $category = $localsubject->as_formatted();
# strip off the 6xx and indicators
$category =~ s/6..\b.*_a//g;
# collapse subfields into single line with dashes
$category =~ s/\s*\n\s*_[xvz]/ -- /g;
