Easy.

Add 'pseudo-device   gif     4' 
and 'options         INET6' in your kernel configuration file.
recompile it, and reboot.

After that, configure your gif0 interface for example like this:

gifconfig gif0 inet <your ipv4> <ipv4 endpoint>
ifconfig gif0 inet6 <your ipv6 adress> <ipv6 endpoint routeur> prefixlen 128 alias
route add -inet6 default <your ipv6 adress>

For testing, try: ping6 -n <ipv6 endpoint routeur>

It may work, good luck.
