Keep an eye out for IPv6-related patches for nfs-utils. The key is

We don't plan to incorporate IPv6-specific patches before upstream
does (and
lenny, our upcoming release, is not going to get libtirpc or
rpcbind). When
upstream nfs-utils is ready, you can expect us to configure with
--enable-ipv6 pretty quickly, though :-)
We need testing to ensure that the latest nfs-utils still works on
legacy systems, built with --disable-ipv6 and no libtirpc. So please
do test my patches and report issues there.
I still haven't had any success with nfsd on the server side in
Linux; it's a
bit unclear to me what nfs-utils to use in particular.
Server side NFS doesn't have any user space IPv6 support yet. The
kernel in my tree supports NFSv4 service over IPv6, but I don't think /
etc/exports supports IPv6 addresses yet.
