Description

When IPv6 Configuration Type is None on Interfaces configuration page, IPv6 link-local addresses still uses
You can see OSPFv3 hello packets, can use ipv6 from these interfaces,
or, if rules like "IPv4+IPv6" used, can connect to services

to completely disable IPv6 on interfaces, option ifdisabled must be used, i.e. "ifconfig vtnet0 inet6 ifdisabled"
from ifconfig (8):

ifdisabled
         Set a flag    to disable all of IPv6 network communications on the
         specified interface.  Note    that if    there are already configured
         IPv6 addresses on that interface, all of them are marked as
         "tentative" and DAD will be performed when    this flag is cleared.
