  Nope, DHCP (as such) only configures IPv4 interfaces (and *some* 
global options); I've never seen or heard of any mechanisms for dealing 
with IPv6 at all (other than DHCPv6, which is a TOTALLY different 
beast).  You're pretty well stuck disabling IPv6 on each and every 
relevant host.
  (Personally and professionally I feel that's an awful hack that should 
never be necessary in this era -- where IPv6 deployment needs to be 
happening NOW -- but I understand that there's some seriously broken 
software out there.)
