Sure, but that's not the point of 464xlat.

In networks where 464xlat makes sense, having IPv4 as well as IPv6 is
expensive in terms of scalability (in addition to in terms of operational
cost, which is true everywhere). In those networks, it's much cheaper to
run IPv4 over IPv6 as opposed to IPv4 as well as IPv6. This is why 464xlat
exists.
