Client wants to terminate s/h 401(k) 12/31/06. He will need to make the s/h match for 2006, but it probably won't be deposited/allocated until 2007. Does this mean client can't have a SIMPLE in 2007 since employee receives allocation in that year? Thanks.

They are 2006 allocations.

Is it necessary to wait until the 2006 contributions are made in 2007 before the new SIMPLE plan can be adopted?

No need to wait. Notice 98-4, Q & A B-3 addresses the issue. The notice doesn't answer your question in so many words. It talks about 'maintaining a plan' being a situation in which allocations are made FOR (my emphasis) a plan year.

Yes, I read that too. The "for the plan year" was tripping me up.
