Thanks! That's the something obvious I was overlooking. I'm used to 
seeing "permission denied" errors or similar when it's the local 
firewall. Packets may or may not have been getting to the tunnel broker 
but ipfw is integrated 6/4 now and my custom ruleset didn't have any ip6 
allow rules. Seems to be working now. :)
