I've been using OpenBSD as IPv6 router since 2.6. It's been working
perfectly for me for quite a few years now, both with native and
tunneled (thru SixXS.net) access. No extra software is needed,
everything can be done with the base install, including setting up a
router advertisement deamon for your local lan and coupling your
system to the larger IPv6 world through OpenBGPD.

You must *enable* ipv6 support to be able to use it beyond the scope
of your local network. This means configuring an IP address on an
interface and setting up a default gateway or configuring your system
to accept router advertisements. Both methods work just like they
should.

If you're afraid of nasty packetses, 'block drop quick inet6 all' in
your /etc/pf.conf works wonders. But I suggest you pick up on IPv6 and
get to know the protocol - there's nothing to be afraid of ;)
