It is very unfortunate that the PF firewall on FreeBSD
is stuck at an old version and doesn't support NAT64,
nor does the IPFW support it AFICT.

The quickest options that I see is to fire up a VirtualBox
under FreeBSD and install a guest OS there that can do the job,
like OpenBSD 5.2, or perhaps using an older live-CD
by Ecdysis ( http://ecdysis.viagenie.ca/ ), which provides
two choices: Linux with Netfilter, or an old OpenBSD
with a patched PF.

Btw, the DNS64 is not a problem, just use a recent Bind from
ports. Similarly the DHCPv6 is not a problem either thanks
to ISC dhcp42 from ports.

I feel the lack of NAT64 support under FreeBSD a large
hurdle against deploying IPv6-only internal networks.
