There's a link on the Samba front page from last week.
The short version is that it doesn't do it yet, and probably won't
until Samba 4 (which has other changes for interoperating with
Vista -- which is the first Windows to really do IPv6 well).
There are patch sets around if you're willing to get your hands 
a bit dirty.  

Be well.
