You could use .type = XTTYPE_PORTRC (port range)...
though arguably iptables already did a bad job at selecting
a suitable syntax for ranges.

I kept the syntax similar to the IPv4 targets. I think its going to be
confusing to remember which one takes which syntax.

+/* Parses ports */

I don't think such a comment is needed ;)

Is it perhaps feasible to rename libipt_DNAT.c to libxt_DNAT.c
and thus have the v4 and v6 parts in the same file? In userspace
we do not have to fear depending on ipv6.ko like for kernel modules.

I did that at first, but they use different structures (nf_nat_ipv4_multi_range_compat vs. nf_nat_range), so there's actually
almost no code which can be shared.
