There is patch available for old version of Bittorent 
http://ipv6.niif.hu/index.php?mn=3&sm=9&lg=en#Bittornado (the page is 
slightly outdated.)

But I recommend using bittornado which supports IPv6 out of the box. 
However it has some problem when tracker enforcing compact model. To 
overcome this issues there is a small patch in FreeBSD port tree.

Also Azureus was capable of handling IPv6.

The biggest problem I think is to provide tracker via ipv6. We had one in 
http://ipv6.niif.hu/index.php?mn=3&sm=10&lg=en

Currently not running.... - 1-2 years ago there was 4-5 download per 
month - therefore we decided to shut down.

If you are interested we can setup some free stuff (Free ISO images) to 
track....
