Funny - I just asked this same question on misc@openbsd.org not
two weeks ago.

Let me copy part of the one of the replies I got :

This was a reply from Todd C. Miller.

See my original posting at :

This applies equally to NetBSD.

Easy - rebuild a kernel without IPv6.

Edit /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERIC and add a '#' in front of
the line with "options       INET6      # IPV6". It's in the
'Networking options' section.

# Networking options
#options        GATEWAY         # packet forwarding
options         INET            # IP + ICMP + TCP + UDP
options         INET6           # IPV6
#options        IPSEC           # IP security

Then follow the usual steps to configure, rebuild and install your
kernel.

But on a personal note I would advise against removing it. IPv6
is very cool new stuff you should get to know. Set up tunnels
and play with it. 

And if you don't want IPv6 output in netstat use -f inet.
