From the SRD:

Bonus Feat: At 1st level, a monk may select either Improved Grapple or Stunning Fist as a bonus feat. At 2nd level, she may select either Combat Reflexes or Deflect Arrows as a bonus feat. At 6th level, she may select either Improved Disarm or Improved Trip as a bonus feat.

OK; to clarify: does this mean that the monk has to take either of the two bonus feats at exactly those levels, or can he retroactively pick, say, Deflect Arrows at 6th level even after he originally chose Combat Reflexes?

Yes. Also, if you want more options, there are quite a few variants (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#monkVariantFightingSty les)in the SRD which also come with skill bonuses and a 6th level bonus ability.

Correct, if you don't take Stunning Fist you can't take it again until 9th level.
