I don't know of any incremental P2V solution, but if you can run the 
live server on kvm, it would be pretty easy to script lvm to snapshot 
every so often, and rsync (or maybe an lvm-aware thing) the images away.

In general, Xen-friendly P2V should also be kvm-friendly, as the two 
hypervisors share the hardware model (qemu).
