syslogd(8) does not have v6 support.
http://cvs.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-wrapper?full=yes&numbers=2796

There is also an issue with pppctl(8) and v6..
http://cvs.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-wrapper?full=yes&numbers=2780
http://cvs.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-wrapper?full=yes&numbers=3570
http://cvs.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-wrapper?full=yes&numbers=3751

and userland ppp/pppd (and kernel sppp layer) do not have v6 support.
