If you can arrange a connection to the TorIX, you'll find people there  
who can (a) peer and (b) provide native v6 transit. In many cases the  
hop beyond that native v6 provider might be a tunnel, but at least  
it's a step in the right direction.

If you can't get a direct connection to the TorIX, you might  
investigate whether you can acquire a tunnel to someone who is already  
doing v6 peering on the TorIX. A short on-net tunnel is better than  
nothing, perhaps (since your v4 transit provider peers at the TorIX,  
the v4 transport for the tunnel stands a reasonable chance of being  
consistent).
