This might be helpful:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_IPv6_support_in_operating_systems

According to it, RDNSS is supported in Linux, BSD, JunOS, MacOS, MeeGo (whatever that is), and available as an addon for Vista and 7.

FWIW, the number of OS implementing RDNSS isn't much less than the number with DHCPv6 support in the table (10 RDNSS and 13 DHCP).
