Comcast is going to be starting trials for IPv6. http://www.comcast6.net/faq.php
1) Can I use my current CC machine to hand out IPv6 addresses to the local LAN and still talk to my ISP via IPv4?
2) Can I use my current CC to get IPv6 from my ISP but hand out IPv4 to the local LAN?
3) Can I use my current CC to get IPv6 from my ISP and hand out IPv6 to the local LAN?

You should be able to do this with the networking scripts in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts depending on your ISP's setup regarding this.
Your other option is to use ipv6.he.net's tunnel broker services and installing radvd.
For what it's worth, you'll need to upgrade to ClearOS 5.1 as there were kernel/routing issues with earlier versions. I could not get routing to work properly without lots of aggravation with CC 4.2 or CC 4.3
If your ISP is handing out a ::/64 net to you then you're golden and radvd should allow you to accomplish the 3 things you are asking about. If not, the he.net tunnel broker services will be your best bet. Depending on how many boxes you have on your internal LAN, it may be quicker and easier to manually set up the internal addresses and forget radvd.
Bear in mind that you will have to firewall the router/ClearOS system as your internal boxes will be available ipv6-worldwide if you give them routable addresses -
