There are a variety of programs in the ports tree that rely on IPv4
mapped addresses to simultaneously provide IPv4 and v6 services and
where we consequently had to disable v6 support.  Somebody adding
proper support to these programs to listen on separate sockets would
be much appreciated.  Off the top of my head, audio/esound, net/irc,
and net/uucp suffer from this.

In the base system, the last major missing piece is v6 support for
all RPC-based services.

IPv6 support in bgpd is still incomplete, I think.
As ospfd comes together, some might wonder about OSPFv3 support.

In the kernel area, we don't support MLD, I think.
