Some people have claimed that they cannot yet sell IPv6 Internet access because there is no IPv6 firewall support. According to this ICANN study this is not quite true. At least 30% of the 42 vendors surveyed, had IPv6 support.

According to this talk many open-source and commercial firewalls supporting IPv6 are available.

Commercial firewall support may be lagging behind OS and router support, but not by much.

The Campus IPv6 Wiki has a more detailed rundown of IPv6 firewall testing and hints for their use here.

You can Build an IPv6 Firewall with OpenBSD.
