I don't know what the "DD-WRT" way is, but since it's running Linux you
should be able to do it the generic Linux way.  I'd look around first
though and see if they didn't go to some effort to automate the process
of using an IPv6 tunnel, though, first.

I'd recommend signing up for a tunnel at Hurricane Electric.  They also
will give you a set of commands to paste that will bring up your IPv6
tunnel.  The only other thing that you need to do then is run radvd so
that all your systems on your network will get an IPv6 address and know
where their default gateway is (unless you want to configure that
manually).  Setting up radvd is not difficult, it just takes reading the
man page.

You _could_ also try to use 6to4, but I have never been able to get 6to4
to work reliably.  My HE tunnel works far more reliably than that.
