I think so.  I do have a valid IPv6 /56 prefix that has been allocated
to me by my ISP.  I configured wm0 to have an address from this range:

ifconfig wm0 inet6 2001:44b8:25e:2d00::1 prefixlen 64 alias

which seemed to have worked.  I tried doing:

dhcpcd -dB6T --nodhcp6 wm0

as suggested in the ipv6 networking faq, the output looks like things
are happening:

dhcpcd -dB6T --nodhcp6    
dhcpcd-6.8.0 starting
DUID 00:01:00:01:1c:cc:55:d2:74:d0:2b:2b:89:bc

ra1_prefix=2001:44b8:25e:2d00::/64
ra_count=1
dhcpcd exited

but still no default route out.  I know my router supports ipv6 and my
ISP connection is set for dual stack.  My laptop, running an older
-current, which I configure using dhcp from the same router can contact
hosts on the internet using ipv6... so I must be missing something in my
manual config.
