It is not mandatory, so you can remove the support by removing INET6 option from your kernel config file. But even if you don't have direct IPv6 neighbor, you can play with it by IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling. Here is some info about such tunneling, http://www.kame.net/newsletter/19990513/ And also now there is 6to4 which gives you some global IPv6 addr block and IPv6 connectivity immediately. It is described in draft-ietf-ngtrans-6to4-0*.txt, and you can use it via interface stf. The stf usage is written in `man stf` and you can setup it easily by adding stf_interface_ipv4addr="your ipv4 addr" in your /etc/rc.conf.
