Port's Makefile has the following comment:
# IPv6 not enabled by default, as it does not work together with IPv4.

and looking at the code, it seems that fping can use either ipv6 or ipv4
but not both (see the #if(n)def's in the code).

With -DWITH_IPV6:
$ fping 192.168.1.4 192.168.1.252
fping: hostname nor servname provided, or not known
$ fping 2001:470:28:4ba:89c1:323b:9032:86ea \
  2001:470:28:4ba:4a5b:39ff:feb3:b824
2001:470:28:4ba:89c1:323b:9032:86ea is alive
2001:470:28:4ba:4a5b:39ff:feb3:b824 is alive

Without -DWITH_IPV6:
$ fping 192.168.1.4 192.168.1.252
192.168.1.4 is alive
192.168.1.252 is alive
$ fping 2001:470:28:4ba:89c1:323b:9032:86ea \
  2001:470:28:4ba:4a5b:39ff:feb3:b824
2001:470:28:4ba:89c1:323b:9032:86ea address not found
