Actually, their MTU won't matter. 6to4 is EXTREMELY asymmetric when 
using relays. The return traffic to you will be via the first router 
than can support 6to4, not the relay you sent packets to. This is why 
troubleshooting 6to4 is such a PITA. If your airport supports static 
tunnels, set one up at tunnel brokers and be done with it.
