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.
