In mozilla's case, it's not the FreeBSD resolver that's trying ipv6 and then ipv4. Mozilla does it explicitly by calling gethostbyname2 first with AF_INET6, and if that fails with AF_INET. You could just patch it to not make the first gethostbyname2 call. From a quick browse of the source from mozilla.org it's src/misc/prnetdb.c around line # 579 or thereabouts.
