Yes, but I have normally seen only spoofed MAC's.  One or more of the Microsoft 
Windows systems allows you to easily spoof them.

I don't think there are "private" MAC addresses as there are for private IPs.  But you 
can certainly try filling the first three pairs "ff:ff:ff:" I don't think that 
represents a vendor or not but it gives your MAC addresses some consistency.
