I've found a way:

will assign link-local address to interface.
after all required interfaces have link-local addresses,
run /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 start and all will be set ! :)
Well, this may work now, however, don't depend on this behaviour in
future releases.
The fact that it does work at all is to do with how protocol domain
attach works with struct ifnet. I am thinking that in future a lot of
this should change, in order to avoid a number of issues we currently
have -- this (the inability to re-attach IPv6 without taking down the
entire interface) is one of them.
