There might be a nifty way of copying it as though it were a file, but
I think I would do something like

	dd if=/dev/mapper/myvolume of=- | ssh $remotehost dd of=newfile

As for actually writinng it out to an LVM parition on the remote host,
I don't know how.  I should think you can use fdisk on the remote host
to create the right sized partition, and then use the device name for
that partition as 'newfile'
