Profile setup

Although this is tagged as D6 and D7 that's slightly misleading because there is a an existing module called Profile Setup that provides a wizard-style approach to building a user profile and it works with D6 but there is a new Profile Setup API in development that will provide the same functionality but completely re-engineered presumably to take advantage of how fields can now be added to the user entity.

An alternative approach to building profiles has been the content_profile module which enables you to use a cck content type as a user profile, and this also allows you to convert profile building into a step-through process by having multiple profile types for a user. It will be interesting to see if there’s a preferred approach that emerges over the next few months as Drupal Seven starts to challenge the D6 approaches we’ve all settled into.
