Looks like quite a few major sites had fun with IPv6 day, including Cisco. Some that were surprisingly absent were all of the OSDN-related sites and others including Slashdot, Thinkgeek, and Sourceforge. Others that did not recognize IPv6 day included MSN (but see below), Gizmodo, and Techcrunch, along with Amazon, Newegg, and likely most other online retailers.
Of the sites I checked that had IPv6 access, many of them had fun with it since IPv6 addresses are represented in colon-separated hexadecimal (0-9, a-f). The most notable of them were:
Cisco:
cisco.v6day.akadns.net. 220 IN AAAA 2001:420:80:1:c:15c0:d06:f00d
Notice "dog food" in the address.
Facebook:
www.facebook.com. 18 IN AAAA 2620:0:1c18:0:face:b00c:0:1
Nothing like marketing yourself.
The BBC:
www.bbc.net.uk. 300 IN AAAA 2001:4b10:bbc::1
It is most assuredly
their address.
According to one Slashdotter, another UK site had a rather interesting IP, which I did not independently verify:
www.luns.net.uk has IPv6 address 2a01:8900:0:1::b00b:1e5
That pretty much sums up the Internet.
I didn't have time to check all those I would have liked since it seemed to be such a short 24-hour period (and ending at midnight, UTC didn't help--6PM MDT). But, here is a list of those I did check with output directly from dig, so I apologize for the extra noise (look for the AAAA lines in the answer sections to find the IPv6 address):

As far as I know, XKCD is still accessible via IPv6 as of 9:30PM.
