Freenet6 (www.freenet6.net) might be just what you are looking for. I
haven't tried them myself, but from their web site it appears that
things work with dynamic IPs just fine. You can get either a /48 or a
/64, from what I have gathered (but I haven't exactly read through
everything a dozen times).

Just remember that you cannot do IPv4 NAT in front of the IPv6-in-v4
gateway.

this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
