To the best of my knowledge, no-one is using IPv6 except for testing and development. There are several IPv6 implimentations available for FreeBSD, but at this time there are no immediate plans for incorporation of IPv6 features into FreeBSD. If you want to experiment with IPv6, a quick search of our list archives (or, alternatively, AltaVista) will turn up the v6 implimentations available for FTP that support FreeBSD.
