Yes, it could be done with a DHCPv6 message called 'CONFIRM' - it's sent 
by the Client to the Server, and it 'confirms' the intention to use an 
address that was allocated earlier.  It was specified for when like 
waking up from standby mode.  It's specified for allocating Addresses, 
so it would work the same when specified for prefixes.
