So I suggest that minumum is 

- PA Block
- Customer Assignments
- DNS resolvers IPv6 capable
- Native (v6 only or dual-stack) upstream connection
- SMTP relay / Submission IPv6
- IMAP/POP IPv6

With that you can run on v6. The last two I am not to determined on, but then a gradually increasing list of services that is supporting IPv6 

- Native transport to customers
- Web
- Jabber
- SIP
- etc

Not that I know of.
