For this kind of circumstance, my first approach would be to put a squid proxy on a dual-stacked (IPv4 & IPv6) host, and set http_proxy on the v6-only host such that outbound HTTP connections would pass through the squid proxy; the squid proxy will then use either IPv4 or IPv6 as appropriate for the requested destination host. (Incidentally, this is a great way to give IPv6 access to IPv4 hosts as well. I was once surprised to discover my PS3 pulling video from Netflix over IPv6 in this way.)
