Did you run mergemaster after you upgraded? How old/what version of

Can you please paste the exact error message?

This is no longer needed.

It's likely that you need to add inet6 before fe80 there:
ifconfig_bridge0_ipv6="inet6 fe80::2%bridge0 prefixlen 64"

See the rc.conf man page on this one, this should probably be:
ifconfig_bridge0_alias0="inet6 2001:abcd:abcd:abcd::x prefixlen 64"

If the above doesn't fix your problems, what ifconfig command line(s)
work for you?
