That variable is set by /etc/rc.d/networking depending on the value of
the rc.conf variable ip6mode. You need "router" to enable forwarding, else
it's disabled.

So what happens is that /etc/rc.d/sysctl enables v6 routing for you, then
/etc/rc.d/networking disables it again.

For a test whether rc.d/sysctl runs I'd suggest something mostly harmless
like hw.acpi.acpiout0.brightness=75
