Someone replied with a possible workaround if you're using LVM2, but if you're using LVM1 like me, and you pvcreate'd your PV across the entire disk like me, then you're screwed like me. :( If you partitioned the logical disk and pvcreate'd a partition, then you should be able to create a new partition on the newly-available space, then pvcreate a second PV and add it into the VG. The wonders of 20/20 hindsight.
