Not for v6.  That only does v4.

I am doing:

ifconfig_IF_ipv6=“up"

or

ifconfig_IF_ipv6=“inet6 accept_rtadv”

depending on what I want to accomplish.  The former is largly for systems where I configure more than one address manually and then I tend to put them all in _aliasN lines to avoid confusion (and I do the same with v4 basically);  the latter is for SLAAC.
