No, not unless you rely on SCTP, which at this time *does* require
INET6. If you remove INET6, you must also remove SCTP.

Be aware that if you remove INET6, ntpd (if used) will complain about
missing transport protocol capability for tcp6 and udp6. It's a
harmless warning, and won't impact functionality of ntpd. There is an
open PR for this problem:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/78728

Also I have occasional 'mskc0: Uncorrectable PCI Express error' messages,
which is a known (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/119613)
problem...

Can't help you with this, but I bet Pyun YongHyeon can. :-)

I really don't understand this wish people have to turn off
IPv6. The world is running out of IPv4 addresses. IPv6
will be required within a year or two. Now is the time to
make sure every piece of software you use that requires IP
connectivity supports IPv6. In 2-3 years time it will be
too late as you won't have the option to fall back to IPv4.

IPv6 connectivity is available to everyone today if they
wish it. You don't have to wait for you ISP to supply it.

What I want to see is a knob that turns off all IPv4 support
so I can find the missing pieces easily.
