All you need would be a 6v regulator. There are a lot of 6v regulators used for things like older motorcycles and you just need to put it in line with or at the fan.
It doesn't matter if it's DC or AC volts as long as it doesn't exceed 6-volts and that's what a regulator does. We have bikes that run lights, cooling fans, turn signals, brake lights, etc, and have 6-volt bulbs and fans from a generator that povides 80+ AC volts but is regulated to 6 volts and there is no problem.
Do a search for a 6 volt motorcycle regulator (without a rectifier) and IMO that should work.
Here's a typical regulator as used on motorcycles:
