At least in the snapshot I have, ndp in KAME takes -I to show/specify an
interface for the default route. ndp in 4.0-CURRENT doesn't have
this option. I don't know how crucial this is.

OK, I'll see what I can do. This will be a good way to force me to
learn how rc.net6 works...
Even if this doesn't make it past the code freeze, we'll have it for
later. (I think a good case could be made for this, considering that
right now starting up IPv6 isn't exactly intuitive.)
