I'm not sure for the reason for that but I find that with this in my
rc.conf my PTP comes up just fine:

#IPv6 Config
gif_interfaces="gif0"
gifconfig_gif0="124.39.153.88 211.14.6.238"

ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_network_interfaces="bge0"
ipv6_ifconfig_bge0="2001:2f0:104:8081::1 prefixlen 64"
ipv6_defaultrouter="::1 -ifp gif0"
ipv6_gateway_enable="YES"

It might be the "ipv6_defaultrouter" line above that makes this all
work.

Best,
George
