It sounds like you are correct. I'm no expert at this, but a Google search
suggests that most Win2000 users with IP v6 needs are using the unsupported
Microsoft beta releases, or Trumpet Winsock 5.0 [the only production code I
could find for your need], or Tunnel Broker or another solution used at a
translating gateway router instead of the client.

http://www.trumpet.com.au/ipv6.htm
You could try looking for other production third party IPv6 protocol
stacks...
Try here if you haven't already:
http://www.hs247.com/ [AFAIK the software under the "Jeroen Massar's Win2K
Hotfix" section listed there is a repackaging of more or less the same
Microsoft beta driver.]
http://www.sixxs.net/main/
... or search Google for Tunnel Broker or a gateway router solution that
will do this.
I don't think the Microsoft position on native IPv6 for Windows 2000 could
be said much plainer than this google search result:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/platform/tpipv6/faq.asp
"This document contains frequently asked questions and answers about the
Microsoft IPv6 Technology Preview for Windows 2000. This is provided for
experimental purposes only. Please note that Microsoft has no plans to do
further development on IPv6 for Windows 2000. All current development for
IPv6 is done on Windows XP and Windows .NET Server 2003 family, where IPv6
is a supported product. Please see our product Web page:
http://www.microsoft.com/ipv6."
[Windows 2000 is NOT listed at http://www.microsoft.com/ipv6 ]
and from: http://research.microsoft.com/msripv6/
"Today, we highly recommend that all serious evaluations are done using
Windows XP and its IPv6 stack. This is the most up to date and most
fully-featured product stack available from Microsoft. Early adopters may
alternatively wish to work with a .NET Server beta. For research and
education purposes only, the original MSR stack remains available... The
next version of Windows will include the first fully-supported release of
the Microsoft IPv6 stack. This stack has been designed for full production
use, suitable for live commercial deployments..."
