You want to the rtadvd(8) daemon.

$ sudo grep -i rtadvd /etc/defaults/rc.conf 
rtadvd_enable="NO"		# Set to YES to enable an IPv6 router
rtadvd_interfaces=""		# Interfaces rtadvd sends RA packets.

To hand out DNS servers, you'll want DHCPv6, but most folks are okay
with the DNS servers they're getting via IPv4 static/dhcp.

I recommend purchasing ipvbook.ca.  Great read.
