Your question doesn't make sense.
If you want to transfer from a IPv6 address you put a IPv6
address in the masters clauses. This works for BIND 8.4.x
and BIND 9.x.x.
If you want to allow UPDATE requests from a IPv6 address
then use allow-update-forwarding so they will be sent to
the master. allow-update-forwarding supports IPv6 addresses.
This works for BIND 9.x.x. BIND 8 slaves don't implement
update forwarding.

BIND 9.3 supports named masters clauses.
Acls say allow this *address range* or key to perform some
function. A plain address is shorthand for IPv4/32 or
IPv6/128.
Masters clauses say connect to this *address* optionally
with this key.
They are conceptually very different things.
