Concatenation and skipping blank cells
I think I'd use a UDF, too. But that formula could be modified for cells with
multiple words:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",CHAR(1))
&" "&SUBSTITUTE(B1," ",CHAR(1))
&" "&SUBSTITUTE(C1," ",CHAR(1))
&" "&SUBSTITUTE(D1," ",CHAR(1))
&" "&SUBSTITUTE(E1," ",CHAR(1))
&" "&SUBSTITUTE(F1," ",CHAR(1)))," ",", "),CHAR(1)," ")
But it gets kind of ugly kind of fast.

Are all the values in A1:F1 single words--no spaces?
If yes:
=SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A1&" "&B1&" "&C1&" "&D1&" "&E1&" "&F1)," ",", ")
Neat solution for single word entries!
