I have been running IPv6 on all of my FreeBSD work systems for
years. All of my mail (including this message) are sent/received by IPv6
and I have not had any problems, but I am on a network that is fully
IPv6 enabled, so no tunnels are involved.

I do know that there will be a major re-write of IPv6 support in V7 to
integrate the KAME code into the rest of the network as KAME is not
longer separately developed. I'm not sure how this will impact things,
but it seems to be working well on two systems of mine running
-current. V7 will also be the end of the GIANT locked network stack
(though some drivers are still under giant) and the replacement of IPSEC
with IPSEC_FAST.
