I'm basically running this (md devices as PVs, which form one VG, which contains a number of LVs). Most of the LVs are encrypted using dm-crypt. It's easy - I've just written a small script to to the dmsetup stuff and mount the newly available (encrypted) LVs. This way, the box boots up fine and is useable. If I want to make those additional (encrypted) LVs available, I may just call that script and supply the password. So I don't think it's really neccessary to place this functionality into the lvm2 tools; especially, this could possibly block the boot-up process (that's bad on a box which has a dozen unencrypted volumes which would already work fine)...
