No - the furthest star in Orion - not it's belt, is only 32 thousand light years away.For a distance of 4.5 to 6 million light years, you would not be able to see it with the naked eye.The farthest object you can see with the naked eye is M31, the Andromeda galaxy. Note that this is an entire galaxy, with several hundred billion stars. The distance to M31 is currently estimated at about 2.5 million light-years.
