It looks like it may be the port. None of my SNMP enabled boxes display
the IPv6 addresses of the interface either (I've never noticed, as I
don't use SNMP for that ;)

However, in the Makefile, I noticed this:

@${ECHO_MSG} "WITH_INETADDRESS_HACK=yes builds with the inetaddress hack"

Which I read somewhere by searching Google that it has something to do
with 'fixing' the IPv6 address issue. Put:

WITH_INETADDRESS_HACK=yes

in your /etc/make.conf file, and try rebuilding the port.

Let us know if that fixes it.
