Yes. Example:

josephine       IN      A       157.99.60.23
                IN      AAAA    5f06:b500:9d63:3c00:1:800:2b38:703b
josephine-v6    IN      AAAA    5f06:b500:9d63:3c00:1:800:2b38:703b

No (unless you have an IPv6 resolver). You can serve IPv6 data with a 
IPv4 BIND (and vice-versa, but I dont' think there is an IPv6 DNS server 
yet).

IPv4 (see above).
