What is the use case for this vs changing the global setting under System > Advanced, Networking tab?
The number of scenarios that would require setting DNS independently of the system as a whole seems like it would be exceptionally low.

This can be used in case when you need to send all your DNS queries inside GIF tunnel (when it available)
If the system as a whole prefers IPv6 (the default) then it would use the gif tunnel anyhow. Or not, if that's what the admin chose.
In the rare case something like that is necessary, the user could easily place this single line in advanced options. If we make GUI options for every single Unbound directive, the GUI will be very cluttered. If it were something more common, more complicated, or difficult to do in advanced options, I'd be more inclined to agree it would be useful to have in the GUI. However, in this case it does not appear to be warranted.
