It doesn't matter if Apache supports IPv6, since the Internet-facing HTTP servers for wikis are reverse proxies, either Squid or Varnish. I believe the version of Squid that WMF is using doesn't support IPv6.
As long as the proxy supports IPv6, it can continue to talk to Apache via IPv4; since WMF's internal network uses RFC1918 addresses, it won't be affected by IPv4 exhaustion.
Ah, yes. That problem. "We're" using that hacked up Squid 2.7, right?
I'm not as involved as I was a couple of years ago, but I was running a large Squid 3.0 and experimental 3.1 site for about 3 years.
Squid wiki says we need any 3.1 release (latest have some significant bugfixes):
