I don't know whether there's a convenient tool for this.

I did once from a standalone machine (no PV in that case).
Basically you have to install a domU kernel and copy the root files to the new 
root accessible directly by dom0 (no partition tables, no bootloader) and 
change files such as /etc/fstab and the initrd.

If your dom0 is the same OS as the domU, things may be a bit easier.
Perhaps just copying the files, modifying fstab then chrooting and installing 
the domU kernel will be enough (no manual changes to inittrd).
I never tried this specifically, though.

If you're able to configure the OS by hand, and your dom0 is also a Fedora OS 
you can simply:
$ rpm --root=/your/domU/root -ivh blah blahblah blah blah
Then, when things are done and your domU is fully funcional you may simply 
copy the root contents as a skeleton for future domUs you may want to create 
in the future.
