Yes, nslookup has A as the default type.  Here is nslookup handling a AAAA 
query:

% nslookup -type=aaaa ipv4.l.google.com
Server:         192.168.1.1
Address:        192.168.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find ipv4.l.google.com: No answer

Authoritative answers can be found from:
l.google.com
        origin = ns1.google.com
        mail addr = dns-admin.google.com
        serial = 192521433
        refresh = 900
        retry = 900
        expire = 1800
        minimum = 60

(If DNS64 was in place, I ought to see 74.125.24.x mapped to an IPv6 address 
instead-- something like 64:ff9b::74.125.24.x.)
