For 2.6, yes via the NDP sysctl (but 2.6 is not that stable on some wifi
chipset so people use 2.4 on unstable chipset).

Just one ebtables rule for bridged IPv6 works here on 2.4 (broadcom
47xx based device). Power users can still build their own openwrt image
to have ebtable enable in 2.4 kernel but ... 

openwrt has stopped shipping the kmod-ebtable package for 2.4 in
latest kamikaze, through having IPv6 connectivity on some
device need compiling and it's not "easy" for "normal" users. My
concern is about the ease to have IPv6 connectivity for them via IPv6
bridge on device that still need 2.4 kernel to work properly.      

Cheers.
