Ipf has been supporting IPv6 for quite some time.  It's just that
one has to enable this support in the Makefile.

$ grep INET6 contrib/ipfilter/Makefile
#INET6=-DUSE_INET6
MFLAGS1='CFLAGS=$(CFLAGS) $(ARCHINC) $(SOLARIS2) $(INET6)' \
  [ ... ]

And ISTR that one has to add "-6" to the ipf(8) invocation
options (like, in /etc/rc.conf).

When I extended ipf to invoke a preprocessor (PR bin/21989) I
added some magic to not propose switches for unsupported features
in the synopsis.  Maybe this concern should be reraised?
