Assuming you have sufficient CPU and an account on the dual stack host (but
it could be a single restricted one), we already have a pretty functional
SSH proxy: ssh "netcat mode".

It takes a little bit of client side configuration, but basically it looks
like this in ~/.ssh/config

Host v6host1 v6host2 v6host3
    ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p dualstackhost
