So to create a raid1 you would do something like "lvcreate -n raidvol -L 1T --mirrors 1 /dev/bigvg"
You can add a mirror to an existing logical volume using lvconvert with something like "lvconvert --mirrors +1 bigvg/unmirroredlv"
But other than simple mirroring you will need mdadm.

LVM allows creating/converting striped/mirrored LVs without any dowtime and it's using the md module.
