I just took a quick look at racoon code... in the samples directory
where sample configs live, I saw a config with,

sainfo address ::1 icmp6 address ::1 icmp6
{
        pfs_group 3;
        lifetime time 60 sec;
        encryption_algorithm 3des, blowfish, aes;
        authentication_algorithm hmac_sha1, hmac_md5;
        compression_algorithm deflate;
}

My thinking (and I could be wrong as I am not an ipv6 nor racoon expert)
is this specifies SA info over loopback for icmp6. 
If we can specify it for ipv6 then we should be able to specify
it for ipv4.

I think we should play around with racoon and its config... I'll also
ask on the ipsec-tools mailing list about racoon working with loopback.
