We have a stateless DHCPv6 server and client in IOS. They are both pretty lightweight - both to implement and to configure. I'm going to go off this afternoon and try to develop a more quantitative measure of "lightweight".

A stateless DHCPv6 server (not handing out addresses) might be very
light-weight, and it looks like at least some router vendors are
about to offer this already. I believe it makes little difference
whether the protocol is DHCPv6 or something else, and many hosts and
routers will need some form of DHCPv6 support anyway to allow
configuration of other parameters.
