Sorry for the delay in responding - I've been delayed in trying further 
and I've finally got around to it today.  I hadn't noticed there were 
more posts to this thread.

Yes - it does work.  The router passes through the protocol 43 packets 
as required and I now have full IPv6 connectivity through my Netgear 
DG834G router.  I'm using A&A as my ISP and connecting to their tunnel 
endpoint using the following in /etc/network/interfaces

auto 6in4
iface 6in4 inet6 v4tunnel
         address <my IPv6 prefix>::1
         netmask 64
         endpoint 81.187.81.6
         ttl 64
         up ip link set mtu 1280 dev 6in4
         up ip route add default via <my IPv6 prefix>::2 dev 6in4

Cheers,
John
