Hi Nate. For future reference, this type of question should be posted to 
misc@, not tech@. The purpose of each list is explained at:

To your question, I assume you are running OpenBSD as a desktop.

If the last line of your /etc/hostname.(interface name) has the 
following for ipv4:

inet autoconf

Then for ipv6 you should be able to keep everything else the same and 
change it to:

inet6 autoconf
