I have

<provider>:
        shell /sbin/ifconfig tun0 inet6 -ifdisabled -no_radr accept_rtadv
        shell /sbin/rtsol tun0 &

in a ppp.linkup file.  The alternative is to use dhcp6c, which also worked
for my provider.

(there are other lines in the linkup file also, but I think those are
 the relevant ones)
