You can add "zero device" replacement for missing PV, then dd to another disk and run fsck/mount/truncate it. I had example how to do that in slide [3/6] missing PV example http://mbroz.fedorapeople.org/talks/LinuxAlt2009_2/ (maybe there is better description somewhere, dunno. There are some slides which need updates though but principle is the same.)
