Yes, you simply setup the RAID1 array and then use it as the LVM PV..

I use software RAID1 on two SATA drives and then create the LVM 
structure on the RAID1 "disk".. Have 3 servers running like this and its 
great, one was running out of space in /home but had pleanty free in 
/var so I just reduced the size of /var and added to /home.. The whole 
process took just a few min..

LVM can also be useful to take backups of volumes where files are 
constantly changing by using the "snapshot" feature..
