If your computer, modem/router and ISP all support IPv6 (the former is bound to be the case, the latter two not necessarily so) IPv6 will just work. Otherwise you'll have to use something like Miredo (which is the Linux-equivalent of something called Teredo), which allows you to run an IPv6 connection over an IPv4 one. I'm not really sure what you're trying to achieve though. IPv6 does away with NAT so your computer automatically becomes publicly routable which can be useful as you don't have to worry about port forwarding. The Teredo/Miredo IPv6-address includes an encoded version of the IPv4 address though, so it'll be just as dynamic.
