No.

It is expected behavior. Mixing automatic configuration and static
configuration may cause conflict, and cannot estimate the influence.
So, current rc.network6 has been made these exclusive for safety.
However, if you DO want to use automatic and static on same interface,
you still may be able to use ifconfig_xxx with inet6 flag in that
argument instead of ipv6_ifconfig_xxx. But, I don't recommend.
