Only if you enable IPv6. ie. you put:
ipv6_enable="YES"
into /etc/rc.conf. That will cause each of your interfaces to have at least
a link-local IPv6 address configured, and lo0 will get the ::1 address applied
to it. See /etc/rc.d/ip6addrctl /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 for the gory details.
Cheers,
Matthew
