The "standard" KAME v6 stack comes with a network interface for exactly this
purpose:  "faith".  It provides essentially an all-ports proxy from a v6 TCP
client to a v4 TCP server.

Its original stated purpose is to provide access to v4 for a v6-only local
net, but it can be trivially used on the other end to provide a v6 inbound
connection point for a local v4-only server.  Perhaps a "load balancer v6
wrapper"?
