Ehm, what exactly do you mean with "convert" ?
If you're doing tcp, you may want to have a look at faithd(8). Another
solution may be application level proxies or gateways. For name
resolution, you can set up BIND as a caching nameserver on your router
to listen on your v6 interfaces and queries the internet over v4
(possibly also v6, with a tunnel to SixXS or someplace else). For web
you'll have to find a v6-capable proxy (I know squid isn't one). Maybe
Apache 2's mod_proxy does it (or Apache 1.3 + the IPv6 patches (see
mini.vnode.ch)).

It depends : what do you mean with 'convert' and what exactly do you
want your systems behind your router to be able to do ?
Without much further details, faithd(8) is the best answer I can give
you. I don't know how workable it is, but you can find out yourself.
