I'm interested in this subject as an entrepreneur with
a boutique on-line service.    I followed the above and
it boots and 'netstat -r' no longer says anything about
IPv6.
I found section 23.5.1 on this page:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html

to be confusing.  I'm not sure if that is out of date, but
the 'make -j4 kernel'
is different than make buildkernel
and it says to reboot before running 'make installworld'.

I'm not sure if it matters but I did 'make buildkernel ...'
before 'make buildworld'.  Then I installed both and
then rebooted.  I tried to get away with just rebuilding
the kernel and installing that, but that didn't work.

Anyway, I'm glad I was able to do this and bring it up
in the hope that ground-up entrepreneurs will not be
dismissed by FreeBSD.  IPv6 is a headache for mom
& pop shops.
