Rob,

This is more than just DirectAccess + TMG Server.  You have to ensure that
all of your internal network devices are not only IPv6 capable but are
configured to actively pass the traffic.  If you haven't already, you might
want to review the requirements for DirectAccess, which is outside of the
scope of the document you reference, prior to moving forward.  There are
also some feature and functionality that you lose when using TMG instead of
UAG, which I believe Microsoft actually prefers customers to use for
providing DirectAccess to their external users, the key one being access to
corporate legacy servers (or applications - not all of them work with IPv6)
over IPv4.

That being said, I think you're out of luck as TMG doesn't accept or pass
IPv6 traffic.  The steps which are required to "trick" it into doing so
*must* be done prior to its installation, I believe.
