Re: Valves likely broke,
he said bent.
The engine swap requires the 5 speed transmission, the 6er can't handle it. Turbo management is supported by the controllers in the Bentley GT. Might retrofit into the Phaeton. I understand there is at least one twin turbo W12 Phaeton in Germany.
But to answer your question, it's not going to be easy and there arn't any RS6 motors in good shape available anyway. Now if VW wanted to do it... they could, no big deal. Just takes money and smog cert. The parts are in their bins.

Bent valves happen when the valves come in contact with the piston face.
This happens when the timing belt breaks, cam belt(s) break, or something majorly catastrophic like the connecting rod breaking causing the piston to fly up and hit the head/valves (almost impossible).

If this is the same seller in Australia . . .
...then he has not open the motor up, so he can not conclusively say that the valves did not break open.
If you're looking for an RS6 motor, in the States, with a 6-month warranty, and all the wiring you would need, call 1-(800)ALL-AUDI, that is Shokan's number, and they parted a RS6 sedan recently that has a good motor.

Re: why was it not covered under warranty?
Maybe the warranty in Australia is different from ours? Just speculating. Or, perhaps the car was totalled in an accident and the engine was also damaged - now with the junk yard...
