We have these features available for IPv6 in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2:

FW_IPv6 (no,drop,reject)
# What to do with IPv6 Packets?

FW_IPv6_REJECT_OUTGOING (yes,no)
# Reject outgoing IPv6 Packets?

These rules should also work for IPv6 if state matching is available:
FW_SERVICES_*_TCP
FW_SERVICES_*_UDP
FW_SERVICES_*_IP
FW_SERVICES_*_RPC

But SuSEfirewall2 on my 10.2 says:
Warning: ip6tables does not support state matching. Extended IPv6
support disabled.

Whence it follows that there are two issues:
1.) Enable state matching in ip6tables (maybe simple)
2.) Add handling for those two variables into yast2-firewall UI
