That works fine since ages, both BitTornado (that is the enhanced 
version of the old official python Bittorrent client, unfortunately they 
did not resync to Bittorrent 4.0 or so) and Azureus (the java thing, I 
would say that is the most commonly used client out there) work fine 
with IPv6-only. Mixed environment might be harder, but nothing impossible.

Only problem is that you need to find a tracker that supports IPv6 
(Bittornado bttrack for example) and has IPv6 connectivity. I was not 
successful so far convincing any of the legal Bittorrent content 
providers to try that :-(
