If I currently use lots of private networks such as 192.168 and 172. addresses, can I do the same thing with IPv6? |

Yes, but instead of everyone using the same address space, you get your own. The method is to pick a random prefix within a rather large space set aside for the purpose. Because it is a large space it is unlikely that someone else picked the same prefix. I made a small tool that makes it easier to pick your unique local address prefix (ULA): http://bitace.com/ipv6calc/ Be aware that many believe there is little use for private address spaces with IPv6. You will have plenty of routeable address space and you would want to avoid NAT. |
