you create your raid devices, and then treat them as regular partitons from
which you want to create VG's and LV's, with the difference that you don't need
to change ( i think you cann't) their partition id to lvm ( 8e / 0x8e)

shortly :
mkraid /dev/md0 /dev/md1 /dev/md2 ...
pvcreate /dev/md0 /dev/md1 /dev/md2 ...
vgcreate  myVG /dev/md0 /dev/md1 /dev/md2 ...
....
