Yes, why not? I'd use EVMS, though.

Hmm, the list above combines to /. So unless you use an initrd to do the
volume discovery at boot time, you should leave /boot and / on standard
partitions, the rest can be on LVM volumes. However, if you think you'll
need to resize / anytime in the future, use an initrd and put / on LVM
also.
I've got a some shell code to create an initrd for EVMS, which you could use
as starting point for your own, if you want.
