seq 2 $1|factor|sed '/: .* /d;s/:.*//'>q
while read a;do grep -x $((a+6)) q&&echo $a;done<q|paste - -

seq generates integers in [2, specified], factor turns them into this format we all know and love:

2: 2
3: 3
4: 2 2
5: 5
6: 2 3

sed deletes lines with a space after the first colon-space (i.e. non-primes), then trims off everything after the colon. For each prime a, we copy the prime equal to a+6 to the standard output stream, and if that succeeded, also write a, then we paste each pair of output lines together.

Any seq since its introduction in Version 8 AT&T UNIX works, and you can trivially replace it with a while at a cost of 42 bytes. Any factor since its introduction in Version 7 AT&T UNIX works (sans format quirks maybe, I'm not in the mood for reading PDP-11 assembly; if the format is space-less, then 4.1BSD probably has the right one).

This example uses Intel syntax. Besides, here the fastcall or register calling convention is used (the latter from 32-bit Delphi), so the parameter is in ecx. I also introduce a second parameter that points to a free space for the result and is saved in edx. A function for allocating memory space would be specific to the operating system and a transfer via the stack would be problematic, so I chose this option.

listSexy:
   mov   ebp, esp      ; 89E5    Save initial esp
   mov   edi, edx      ; 89D7    Save second parameter in edx

   cdq                 ; 99      Clear edx for the later division
   push  eax           ; 50      Put the number on the stack

The opcodes (and thus the size of the instruction) are given in the comment. The function can be called from C with, for example

int n = 100;
int resultList[50] = { };
listSexy(n, resultList);

The result list should be initialized with zero, since no final null byte sequence or similar is written into.

Returning an array in C is something you try to avoid. So the function s gets the limit n and a pointer to an array of integers, and fills it with the data. Each pair of sexy primes is placed in two positions in the array. So o[0]=5, o[1]=11, o[2]=7, o[3]=13. The function assumes the array is large enough.

x=7,l;
p(){
    return++l>=x/2||x*(x-6)%l&&p();

s=.[:(,.-&6)[:I.1([:*/p:)"1 i.,.6-~i.

Lost a character keeping both primes below the limit...and another 7 declaring a function.

Usage:

   s 100
11  5
13  7
17 11
19 13
23 17
29 23
37 31
43 37
47 41
53 47
59 53
67 61
73 67
79 73
89 83

Edit

Seems like a lot of the new answers are not creating functions, taking input or limiting both numbers in the pair to be below n - if I ignore those restrictions too I can get down to 28 characters:

(,.6&+)I.*/"1[1 p:(i.,.6+i.)

Modified my MATLAB answer to comply with the new (annoying) rules. n is your value.

p=@isprime;i=1:n;[j=i(p(i)&p(i+6));j+6]

Can be tested here

Perl: 73 char

sub p{(1x$_[0])!~/^(11+?)\1+$/}map{$x=$_+6;p($_)&&p($x)&&say"$_,$x"}2..<>

usage:

echo 30 | perl -E 'sub p{(1x$_[0])!~/^(11+?)\1+$/}map{$x=$_+6;p($_)&&p($x)&&say"$_,$x"}2..<>'

output:

5,11
7,13
11,17
13,19
17,23
23,29

GolfScript, 32 characters

~),2>{:P{(.P\%}do(!},:L{6+L?)},p

Since the output format was not specified, the code above will print the lower prime of each pair. Thus a number x is included if x and x+6 are both prime and both are below n. Input is given as single number on STDIN.

MATLAB 32

i=1:n;i(isprime(i)&isprime(i+6))

n is your number
