 * Almost of applications work fine, but downwards compatibility is
 * depends on each implementations in general.

For those that work for both v4 and v6, I think you should just go
ahead and enable IPv6 by default.  (I'm assuming the patches are not
*that* big.)  I don't want your jobs to be any harder than it already
is.

For those that only work for one, I suggest you make v4 the default
and add a "slave" port that sets the v6 option on.  Something like
this:

ports/ftp/wu-ftpd: normal port, with USE_INET6 check you suggested

ports/ftp/wu-ftpd+ipv6: slave port with only the Makefile

===
USE_INET6=	yes
MASTERDIR=	${.CURDIR}/../wu-ftpd
.include	"${MASTERDIR}/Makefile"
===

That way we can easily build packages for both v4 and v6 users.
