This is strange. I have a 2.0_BETA with IPv6 support, without IPv6
connectivity. See:
pavel@pc:~$ ftp ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
Trying 2001:4f8:4:7:2e0:81ff:fe21:6563...
ftp: connect to address 2001:4f8:4:7:2e0:81ff:fe21:6563: No route to host
Trying 204.152.190.13...
Connected to ftp.netbsd.org.

It tries IPv4 immediately - so no problem for me.
