Yes. When you create a partition manually, you can set the partition 
type to be 'physical volume for encryption' or 'physical volume for 
lvm', amongst the other usual types. You can then make more partitions 
inside that volume. e.g. make an encrypted volume, set the type to lvm, 
then make partitions in the lvm.
