Public IPv6 tunnel providers such as Hurricane Electric give you enough
IPv6 addresses to do this --- I think they give you a /64 block.

If you've got an openwrt router, then there are instructions at
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/ipv6 under the "Dynamic 6in4
tunneling" section. You then need to set up radvd to hand out the IPv6
addresses just as you would if you had an IPv6 block from your ISP. I
expect the setup is similar with other routers.
