There isn't a direct equivalent to RFC 1918 for IPv6, but you can use
ULA instead, RFC 4193.

You probably shouldn't be handing out link-local fe80:: addresses with
DHCPv6.  Each client needs a link-local address generated by means
other than DHCPv6 in order to use DHCPv6 (i.e. before DHCPv6 is
started), so it is somewhat of a chicken/egg problem.  See RFC 3315
sections 1.1 and 16.
