Yes, if you bring in third-party code you can do 6rd on FreeBSD.  I 
meant that FreeBSD does not have 6rd support in the base like it does 
for 6to4 and 6in4.  There have been patches available for years that add 
6rd feature suppport to if_stf, but for some reason they've never made 
it into FreeBSD despite making into downstream projects.
