According to Jorge Sa' Silva:

You have to look into /etc/defaults/rc.conf.  You'll find several ipv6
variables for both host and router configuration.

For a host, it is quite easy:

### IPv6 options: ###
ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_network_interfaces="auto"  # List of network interfaces (or "auto").

After that, your interfaces will have some more aliases on them:

ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 193.56.58.65 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 193.56.58.79
	inet6 fe80::200:c0ff:fe7c:6648%ed0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
	ether 00:00:c0:7c:66:48 
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
	inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x10 
	inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 

Proper routes will also be established.

Also look in /usr/share/doc/examples/IPv6 for details.
