At the moment you can set up IPv6 only hosts and clients outside Beaker,
and then use Beaker to drive the test execution. It's similar to what
users can currently do if they want to test a client against another
distro or OS that Beaker doesn't know how to provision - set up an
external server, and provide the connection details as parameters to the
client task.

It's a bit tedious and has the usual problems of cross-test interference
and configuration management for the external systems (which is why we
eventually want to get to native support in both cases, via this
investigation for IPv6, via OpenStack for other distros and OSes), but
it *does* work.

Cheers,
Nick.
