Hurricane Electric will give you a free IPv6 tunnel, including a routable range (/56 from memory). Setup the tunnel on one machine, and then configure it to be a router for your local network (using one of the networks from the /56). All of the hosts on that network will now have "native" IPv6. Sure, to get out of your network it has to go via a tunnel, but that's completely transparent to the end hosts. Keep in mind the security implications though - if you don't setup a firewall on your IPv6 tunnel endpoint/router, then you're basically putting any of the systems it routing traffic for directly onto the Internet, with a public IP address.
