You're in business out-of-the-box if you're running CentOS4
(kernel 2.6).  802.3ad makes things simple.

Shouldn't matter either way.  Although IPv6 uses the layer-2
MAC address as the lower 48-bits of its address by default
(at least for the LINKLOCAL, if not the SITELOCAL), that's
still provided at layer-2.  So the aggregation will address
that even before the IPv6 is assigned.
