Version 2.02.05 lets you rename it by giving its uuid to vgrename in place of its name. Prior to that you can set up a one-off lvm.conf file with filters that exclude everything except the disk(s) being imported and use the LVM_SYSTEM_DIR environment variable to point lvm at the temporary configuration file.
