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.
Ah, yes. That problem. "We're" using that hacked up Squid 2.7, right?
As far as I know, yes. I don't know if the plan is to update to a newer Squid, or to switch to Varnish entirely.
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/IPv6_deployment mentions either using another front-end proxy, or upgrading.
