Hi,
Does MacOS X support DHCPv6 on the client side (getting an IP from
a server)?
No.
If not, are there any suitable hooks that would allow me to plug in
a third party client, for doing the same thing?
You could write a process to handle dhcpv6. You will need to read up
on the dynamic store and probably look at the dhcp configuration
agent (configd plug-in). I believe it comes from the bootp project.

Turns out there is already a DHCPv6 implementation, from the same
folks who provided us with the IPv6 stack that MacOS X uses. The
following is a project based on the work done on the KAME project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wide-dhcpv6/
There is a client and server component.
So far it compiles without any issues, so now to see what can be done
with it.
