I have implemented IPv6 RPC and NIS over IPv6.
It doesn't need any IPv4 address.

But, the current USAGI snapshot doesn't adopt it.
Because it dosen't support TI-RPC. Its API is original.
 
I'm going to re-implement IPv6 RPC and NIS over IPv6,to support TI-RPC.
I will implement IPv6 NFS client and server, after that.
But, I need much time to do it...I'm sorry.
