Yes. Wherever you have a "part" command in your kickstart, add
--encrypted and --password options. In your case,
part pv.100000 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda
would become (still on the one line)
part pv.100000 --size=1 --grow
--ondisk=sda --encrypted --password HelloWorld
See

lation_Guide/ch-kickstart2.html
DO NOT forget the password!
