Hi

You can always create 'new LV' on the PV you prefer to use and then with good 
old 'dd'  command copy deviceA->deviceB - preferably while device your are 
copying is not in use (i.e. if you are copying LV which holds your filesystem 
- the partition should not be mounted) - once all your data are copied you 
just reconfigure fstab to mount different new LV.

lvm2 does not (ATM) support this kind of operation.
