install ipv6 /bin/true 

in /etc/modprobe.conf will have an effect which will prevent
a loading of ipv6 support module, so IPV6 surely will be absent,
while still returning with "ok" status from a modprobe call.
This is not effective if IPV6 support is configured "built-in"
but this is not the case for FC kernels.

Check 'man modprobe' for more details.

That is quite independent from the above but the question was
how to disable IPV6.  The above does across the board.  It is
an equivalent of on old 'alias ipv6 off' in /etc/modules.conf
but this was for versions in the past.
