	in normal routing table?  you have ifp to do that...
	you can put an IPv6 default route to gif0 interface (not to address)
	by the following operations.  (the reason why we need two operation
	is due to some restrictions in sys/net/{rtsock,route}.c - i'll
	correct it based on post-4.4BSD change)
	# route add -inet6 default ::1
	# route change -inet6 default -ifp gif0
