Remove "options INET6" from your kernel config file
(/sys/i386/conf/XXX), rebuild your kernel and reboot your machine.

There may be a way to turn it off at runtime using sysctl, but I don't
know what it is, and in hindsight it probably wouldn't make much sense
to do that at runtime, although I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. :)
