AltQ, described in following, seems to be relevant.  I'm looking into a
similar setup, though for different reasons.

 PF: Packet Queueing and Prioritization
        http://openbsd.org/faq/pf/queueing.html

 ALTQ - allocation by percentage

 Firewalling IPv6 with OpenBSD's pf (packet filter)
        https://solarflux.org/pf/pf+IPv6.php

I'm still in the planning stages, though.

I'm currently using DNSmasq for DHCP, but would prefer to do something
else and use only IPv6 in-house.  The version of DNSmasq in the openbsd
pkg archive has some problems, so I'm using a 'test' version of 2.41:
