Since you're posting to an OpenBSD mailinglist, I'm assuming you're running OpenBSD. In this case, it's quite easy but it depends on what you want exactly. Your system comes with IPv6 enabled by default, you can already connect localhost over v6 (ping6 ::1) and if you have a network with multiple IPv6-capable (and enabled) machines, you can find them from your OpenBSD machine by using `ping6 -w ff02::1%if0` (replace if0 with the interface that is connected to your network) However, I think what you really want is to connect to the global IPv6 internet. For this you will need IP space (or simply an address) from your current ISP or from a tunnelbroker. Contact your ISP and ask them for IPv6 addresses. If they stare at you with blankly, they probably won't be able to supply you with v6. In this case, find a suitable tunnelbroker (I personally use SixXS (http://www.sixxs.net/)) and set up a tunnel.
