I've found a list at http://eng.hexago.com/services/ntp.shtml. All except time.ncore.pl seem to work.
Do you get good latency on ipv6 servers? I get the impression that a lot of ipv6 routing is going via encapsulation tunnels and so it is probably less optimal than ipv4.

For the servers from the list from my server (native connectivity, no tunnel overhead). This is the delay reported by ntpdate -d -u <server>:

                             IPv6           IPv4

I used chime3.surfnet.nl for the IPv4 address of chime3.ipv6.surfnet.nl. As you can see IPv6 is max. 10ms worse than IPv4 (nlams01 and noc.sixxs.net are at the same provider), with same or even slightly better latency at some occasions.

Bad latency is a FUD nowadays if you choose your providers carefully (I admit that this is not always possible in some regions).
