Not on my system (RELENG_5_3)...
# cat /etc/defaults/rc.conf | grep ipv6_enable ipv6_enable="NO" # Set to YES to set up for IPv6.
Affirmed for -CURRENT.
Yeah, you guys are right... as far as I can tell, it's always been set to "NO" in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. Sorry 'bout that.
Not only that, but it appears not to matter. I'm running 4.10 on this machine (same as the OP), with ipv6_enable="NO" in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and nothing to override it in /etc/rc.conf. Yet the machine booted with IPv6 enabled. Only when I disabled IPv6 in the kernel did v6 stop trying to happen. This also had the effect of speeding up name resolution by Mozilla and friends, which IIRC was the OP's issue in the first place.
