Sorry for not including all relevant info:

1.	I have a valid (Solaris) BIND9 IPv6 server running on the address listed
2.	I made bind-9.1.1 in /usr/ports/net/bind9 on "client" FreeBSD machine.

Should that be enough to be able to put IPv6 addresses in resolv.conf now ?

Thanx,
Tim

How did you know that?  FreeBSD version of nslookup and dig are not
support IPv6 transport and simply ignore nameserver line with IPv6
address.
Does your nameserver provide service via IPv6?  BIND9 supports IPv6
transport but you need to add listen-on-ipv6 directive into
named.conf.
