It's an upstream bug, if they consider it one. From the Gentoo ChangeLog:
30 May 2012; Lars Wendler <polynomia...@gentoo.org> iftop-
1.0_pre2.ebuild:
Non-maintainer commit: We need libpcap with ipv6 support or else iftop
doesn't work at all.
I downloaded the latest iftop tarball and,
1 There is no ./configure option for ipv6
2 Compiling it against libpcap without ipv6 support works, but it
crashes at runtime:
$ sudo ./iftop
...
set_filter_code: ip6 not supported
