You can do that in SR4. You can start with one attribute at 6, and
one skill at 6. If the attribute with the 6 is the one the skill is
based off of, then you have a pool of 12d6 for that skill. I.e.,
you're an expert. And you will have enough points left over to round
out the character.
And if that still doesn't float your boat, change it. Increase the
number of build points in your game and alter/remove the "one maximum
attribute" and "one skill at 6" rules.
