Yes, use square brackets
around the IPv6 address - covered in an RFC:
[2001:ec8:4008:1::123]:80
Alternatively, use symbolic name via DNS:

Subject: How to represent address/port pair?
Is there a conventional way to represent a numeric IPv6
address along with
a port as a string? With v4, many applications would
interpret a ":" as
introducing a port number, i.e. "telnet
127.0.0.1:9999". Obviously that
doesn't work well with v6
addresses. Any recommendations for the best way
to do something like
that with
v6?
