iPXE does have the ability to format IPv6 addresses as part of settings, 
for example ${dns6:ipv6} (or just ${dns6}) will show the IPv6 DNS server 
address (if any).

However, there is no straightforward IPv6 equivalent of "the IPv4 
address" for a network device.  Under IPv6, each interface is likely to 
have at least two addresses: the link-local address and a global address 
assigned via NDP or stateful DHCPv6.  There can be an arbitrary number 
of global addresses for an interface, if the local routers happen to 
advertise multiple prefixes.
