   I think the best answer is no, but a more complete answer is yes, there
are some IPv6 implementations for 4.4BSD-derived systems...several, in fact.
The problem is that none of them is a clear "best" version, so the current
plan is to take the good things out of all of the offerings, do some more
work on it ourselves, and then have a "FreeBSD" version. All of this isn't
planned until late this year at the earliest or probably not until the
first half of next year realistically.
