You need an IPv6 capable mailer (I use binkd), and the hostname that is in the nodelist needs an AAAA record, as well as an A record. One caveat, you may have a situation where FTN can use IPv6, but the BBS can't. In this instance, it's better to use different hostnames for FTN transfers (i.e. in the nodelist) and user access. This prevents IPv6 capable users getting lengthy delays in connecting, if they use an IPv6 capable terminal. How my system is setup is:
freeway.vkradio.com (A and AAAA records) - this is my nodelisted address. binkd handles both IPv4 and IPv6 connections, and a couple of my feeds routinely exchange mail over IPv6.
freeway.apana.org.au (A only) - this is my user accessible address. It has only an A record, so IPv6 capable terminals won't attempt a (futile) IPv6 connection. I'm running Synchronet 3.16c, which does not support IPv6.
Of course, if both your mailer and BBS support IPv6, then you don't need the second hostname.
On the BBS bachine itself, I use a manually configured static IP for both v4 and v6 (easier for me to recognise by eye), but SLAAC addresses could be used instead, which is simpler to setup.
And odds are your router has a firewall that blocks incoming IPv6 connections by default. You will need to open the port that your mailer listens on (by default, binkp connections are on TCP port 24554). Many routers erroneously call this "IPv6 port forwarding", it's actually a packet filter, and you're telling the filter to let incoming binkp traffic pass.
Same for your OS, make sure any firewall (e.g. Windows Firewall on Windows, or iptables on Linux) is configured to pass incoming binkp connections.
