I'm confused, I have a /64 from the hurricane electric tunnelbroker. 
I use rtadvd on the server that is the tunnel endpoint, 
advertise the /64 using rtadvd and use rtsold or XPs equivelent so any 
address's are the prefix then the mac address of the 
client machine (am using rtsold on netbsd and windows XP's ipv6 both of 
which work fine)
so it seems pretty easy to manage a single subnet lan. to me
