Uhmm, I'm not sure about the latest ntp in development, but the older
ones with IPv6 support does work (like the one shipping in FreeBSD 6.1):

ntptrace -n fd9c:6829:597c:20:202:6fff:fe41:1929
fd9c:6829:597c:20:202:6fff:fe41:1929: stratum 3, offset -0.002579, root distance 0.005136
fd9c:6829:597c::1: stratum 2, offset 0.000278, root distance 0.001259
146.64.241.228: stratum 1, offset 0.000000, root distance 0.000000, refid 'CSIR'

The old ntptrace cannot work reliably in a new world where ntpd might
be running on IPv6 capable machines, but the new ntptrace can. It
might have other problems, but not that.
