After further manpage reading, it seems to work with:

    ifconfig_gif0_ipv6="inet6 <tunnel-prefix>::2 <tunnel-prefix>::1 prefixlen 128 no_prefer_iface"
    ifconfig_igb1_ipv6="inet6 <my-network>::1 prefixlen 64 prefer_source"
    ip6addrctl_policy="AUTO"

and in /etc/ip6addrctl.conf:

    ...
    # Default IPv6 label is 1
    # Use internal address as source for generic IPv6 destinations.
    ::/0                         40     1
    <my-network>::/64            40     1
    ...

Likely some of this is not needed, but not sure which.
