I have a character I designed that absolutely has to have 6 colors. Is that possible?

For the player, you can use 2 palettes of 3 colors + 1 for transparency. Each 8x8 can use only 1 palette... so if your player is, for example, 16x16... yes you could use 6 colors (but only 3 per 8x8)
Cf tutorials and http://nesmakers.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=346

what about the megaman method of overlaying another 8x8 block on top of it to add 3 more colors? could it maybe be done with game objects > Effect #?

Not natively in NESMaker. But it doesn't mean you can't do it, you can modify the scripts, in ASM, to do it.
Maybe someone will share a tutorial with a script on how to do it with NESMaker.

Any plans to add a native support for that?

I don't know... but I don't think it's their priority right now (even a lot of people would like this functionality).
But who knows
