I don't think it's machine dependent in any meaningful way; there is, to
my knowledge, no OE-supported hardware which is actually incapable of
supporting ipv6.  Any distro that wants to use it just needs to make
sure that the kernel support is present (either built-in or as a module)
on all the supported targets.  In any case, most packages will cope
gracefully with ipv6 being selected on in the configuration and then
found to be absent at runtime.

If you start factoring MACHINE_FEATURES into that kind of decision then,
logically, the package needs to have PACKAGE_ARCH=${MACHINE}.  I don't
think it would be a very good thing to start forcing packages down that
path unnecessarily.
