Depends.

Skirting around the hex (around 5' away) but not attacking would not result in a defending polearm bonus, because it is not an attack (this is disputed in another thread), whereas actually closing ground rapidly to attack, is not "moving slowly", and is going to risk getting painfully skewered before you get there.

You don't just nonchalantly saunter up to someone and whack them with a sword.
