IPv6 offers a lot more than just more IP addresses. One of the goals
is also to improve network autoconfiguration so network devices can
truly be "plug and play". Wich is a good feature to have for people
who don't want to be network admins, but still have a complex home
network. There are allready media streaming devices on the market that
rely on this.

You don't need to recompile apache if that is all you want. You can
safely ignore Apache's IPv6 capabilities.
This is why your request sounded a bit unusual to me.
