There is no private network space in IPv6.

In general, if you turn on IPv6 on a LAN, you can happily use link-local
addresses to talk over the LAN. They are all automatically configured.

If you want unique address space, but don't care if it is routed, look
at the 6to4 address space.  6to4 space is very nice, but unfortunately,
there aren't a lot of places that you can send your non-6to4 traffic if
you want to be connected, thus you wind up getting 2001: space via a
tunnel.

I have just configured using http://www.sixxs.net/ and I'm very happy.
