There is a TomatoUSB build that includes IPv6 support.  Took me about 2 
hours to get an HE tunnel running on my Asus RT-N16 router.

I've got a Toastman compile of TomatoUSB running: "Tomato Firmware 
v1.28.7493 MIPSR2-Toastman-RT K26 USB VPN-NOCAT" currently and it's been 
rock solid.  There is a nice GUI setup for the HE Tunnel and no glitches 
with it at all so far.
