 From my 2 minute perusal of the email archives on this subject, I see 
nothing that suggests this can't be done and some attempts at doing so.
If you're interested in helping to move this work along, then perhaps
you want to start here:

<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-08/msg01581.html>

This points to at least one on-going, albeit somewhat external, effort 
for melding Cygwin and IPv6.  There may be others you can find as well.
I think everyone would be interested in seeing IPv6 in Cygwin if you 
have interest in helping make that a reality.
