try setting ipv6_activate_all_interfaces to yes and configuring the
corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 in your rc.conf if you haven't done so already,
and see if they help.
from /etc/defaults/rc.conf:
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="NO" # If NO, interfaces which have no
# corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is
# marked as IFDISABLED for security
# reason.
