I would have no problem with adding a checkbox to virt-manager that

you can determine a good place to do it. I don't think we want to
spend a whole ton of time creating a new class to take different PV
guest OSes into account, though. Having said that, have you looked at
the *Installer class family in virtinst? Is there a way we could
extend that to do what you need?
Another route (though one that takes more effort), is to base install on
virt-image metadata - the idea is that we would ship stock virt-image
files for installable OS's; those files would contain the salient bits
about an OS (such as APIC/ACPI, whether to enable a graphics console,
kernel cmdline for pv) virt-manager would have to modify those files a
little before passing them off to virt-image, mostly to put things like
the ISO location and path to the root disk in.
I looked at virt-image but it seemed to be based on having an "already
installed" version of the source image.
Also I didn't see any way to specify different configuration settings
for the "install phase" versus the "normal execution".
Unfortunately neither virt-image nor virt-install provide the ability
to specify the target device.
Both Libvirt's XML and xen's xmdomain.cfg formats do provide it.
