You can extend the partition yourself (be sure the new partition starts
at exactly the same place as the old one!) and then do pvresize (unless
RHEL3's LVM does not support that, I only checked with RHEL4).

See for example <http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/pvresize.8.html>.

I do not have personal experience in using it.
