I started making a program to track the NTP traffic last fall, but I didn't get 
too far.


I'd guess 1/50 to 1/200th of the IPv4 traffic.

Some years ago I made a javascript widget to test how many end-users had IPv6 
support (the widget is on the NTP Pool site and a few other sites I'm involved 
with); it says adaptation is up to about 4%.

For servers it's probably a bit more, but on the small appliances and such that 
use the NTP Pool it's probably lower, so as a ballpark estimate we can go with 
4% on the high side. Google says it's much lower: 
http://www.google.com/ipv6/statistics.html

Currently only people asking for 2.* (2.pool.ntp.org, 2.fedora.pool.ntp.org, 
etc) even has the option of getting an AAAA record, so that probably makes it 
down to 1/3 to 1/6th of the regular traffic, too.
