Very unfortunately, 6to4 is not yet supported in FreeBSD/KAME.
So now available options will be,
-Use freenet6 (for one hosts).
-Get IPv6 address block and connect to 6bone using gif tunnel.
We hope to add 6to4 support for KAME/FreeBSD very soon (next week is a
good guess).
And here is the patches.
The last patches should work but I found a improvement related
to coexistence with gif, so this is the updated patches.
