If you are running CatOS/IOS (hybrid), you can use the set mls 
bridged-flow-statistics enable command to enable this (NF collection for

bridged flows).

In IOS (native), unfortunately, this is not yet implemented.

Note that there are two aspects of NF on 6500 - the NF stats tracked in
the 
PFC, and the NF stats tracked on the MSFC. Note that ip route-cache flow

under an L3 interface handles only the latter.

Check out the user docs for all the CLI relating to PFC vs MSFC NF 
collection & export.
