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.
