The resolver(5) man page makes no mention of IPv6 --- by implication it expects IPv4 dot notation addresses in /etc/resolv.conf. That would seem to be contradicted by the libc source code in src/lib/libc/net/res_init.c, and the change logs at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/net/res_init.c?f=3Du&onl= y_with_tag=3DRELENG_4&logsort=3Ddate Although there is also src/contrib/bind/lib/resolv/res_init.c which isn't compiled into the default libc as far as I can tell. Documentation seems to be in src/share/examples/IPv6/USAGE. However, in summary it seems that adding options edns0 nameserver abcd:ef00::001 <- your nameserver address here.. to your /etc/resolv.conf and querying against a BIND9 server configured using the listen-on-v6 directive in named.conf should be sufficient. If you've installed tha BIND9 port, look at file:///usr/local/share/doc/bind9/arm/Bv9ARM.ch06.html#AEN2127 I haven't got access to a setup with sufficient IPv6 capability to be able to test that properly though.
