 From reading the conf file of nrpe and going over it's documentation , 
unless you specify the "server_address" parameter , nrpe will listen on 
all NIC and addresses .

I would like to believe that means it will take the V6 address and use 
it too .
I have never done this myself , best way is to try and share with us how 
it went.
