Not quite  -- we tested an earlier version of Chuck's mountd/exportfs
patches at Connectathon. Those are still not merged yet in mainline
nfs-utils.

For now, no Linux distro that I know of has server-side IPv6 support.
Once Chuck finishes posting his patches for mountd and exportfs, and
those are merged in mainline nfs-utils, it will.

The kernel is pretty much IPv6-ready though, so once you have a
suitably enabled nfs-utils it should work. If you want to play with
the patches for this, you can pull down Chuck's git repo from here:
