I am trying to include 6 small movie clips in one slide for test game. I want to be able to click on the movie to start without any sequence. Is this possible to do this in Keynote?

Do I take it that you want the slide to display showing your 6 movies, and then you can choose which one to play?

If so, create a slide with your 6 movies on. Then create six more slides, one for each movie. On your first slide make each movie a hyperlink, using the Inspector, and link to the corresponding slide that contains the individual movies.

MightyGem's answer is darn clever!

But as you go to the proper slide, the movie will begin playing automatically, so bear that in mind.

Not if you give it the Build In action of Start Movie, and then choose On Click from the More Options drawer.
