might I suggest "ping6 ff02::1%em0" or whatever interface is appropriate, to 
ping the all-hosts multicast address, you'll get all the fe80:: addresses for 
hosts which respond so you can easily grab all the host-part of the IPv6 
addresses, just replace fe80:: with your routable subnet number. You can figure 
out which IPv6 address corresponds with which IPv4 address by comparing the 
neighbor/arp tables, "/sbin/ip -6 neighbor ; /sbin/ip -4 neighbor"

As you point out you don't need to really do anything here as the DNS payload 
is totally separate from which protocol you use to talk to DNS, you can have 
dhcpd set IPv6 entries in /etc/resolv.conf if you want but it's not required.
