Strange, here's some stuff from my machine:

$ ping6 ::1
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) ::1 --> ::1
16 bytes from ::1, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.229 ms

$ ping6 ::1%lo0
ping6: No address associated with hostname

$ ping6 fe80::250:daff:fe6d:3530
ping6: UDP connect: No route to host

$ ping6 fe80::250:daff:fe6d:3530%xl0
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::210:4bff:fed3:badc%xl0 --> fe80::250:daff:fe6d:3530%xl0
16 bytes from fe80::250:daff:fe6d:3530%xl0, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.567 ms

$ ping6 -I xl0 fe80::250:daff:fe6d:3530
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::210:4bff:fed3:badc%xl0 --> fe80::250:daff:fe6d:3530
16 bytes from fe80::250:daff:fe6d:3530%xl0, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.588 ms


Basically, "::1" should have worked.  I guess you only need to specify the
interface when using local-link addresses.  That may or may not apply to
"global" addresses, but I'm not sure because I havn't had a chance to
setup 6bone yet.

Do you have IPFW enabled in your kernel?  (options IPV6FIREWALL)
However, I don't think so, because you would get a different error.
