I think you can, but not without downtime.

The main problem is the monmap which contains IPv4 addresses and you want to 
change that to IPv6.

I haven't tried this, but I think you should be able to:
- Extract MONMap
- Update the IPv4 addresses to IPv6 using monmaptool
- Set noout flag
- Stop all OSDs
- Inject new monmap
- Stop MONs
- Make sure IPv6 is fixed on MONs
- Start MONs
- Start OSDs

Again, this is from the top of my head, haven't tried it, but something like 
that should probably work.
