Sure, the --file parameter to virt-install will happily accept a path to
a plain file, a raw partition or an LVM volume. In retrospect it would
have been better called --disk :-)

 # virt-install \
              --name demo \
              --ram 500 \
              --file /dev/VolGroup00/DemoVM \
              --location 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os/ \
              --paravirt \
              --vnc
