Here's some old notes I wrote during my time with Virginia Tech:

To add an ipv6 static address to a running OpenBSD box that currently
has a static ipv4 address without rebooting.

1. Add an ipv6 address to /etc/hostname.if

	Before:
		inet 128.173.54.137 255.255.248.0 NONE


	After:
		inet 128.173.54.137 255.255.248.0 NONE
		inet6 alias 2001:468:c80:c111:0000:409d:6cda:7264

2. Add the ipv6 route to /etc/mygate

	Before:
		128.173.48.1

  	After:
		128.173.48.1
		2001:468:c80:c111::1

3. If you have pf enabled, it blocks ipv6 by default. Add a line such
as this to /etc/pf.conf to allow all ipv6 and restart pf:

	pass in quick on $if inet6

4. Restart the interface:

        sh /etc/netstart if

For more info, man hostname.if, pf, inet and inet6
