Define "implement". It's available in the default install last time I  
checked (and has been for several years). You can assign an IPv6  
address to any interface, set up routes, do DNS, etc. without having to  
toggle anything. Just use ifconfig(8).

There's a short section in the Handbook:

ipv6.html
