Whether LSB and / or POSIX support is provided is mostly (or maybe entirely?)
up to the distribution. I'm not familiar with the details of either standard
but I'm not aware of anything in PV Linux that breaks them.
Much of LSB is about what software is available on the system, how the
filesystem is laid out, etc, which is not changed under PV. If it places any
restrictions on kernel version, I guess that could be a problem.
Much of POSIX is focused on the interface to userspace apps and to the users
themserves - again, the use of the PV kernel shouldn't affect these
significantly.
In summary: I wouldn't expect PV to make much difference to either but I can't
rule out it breaking some rule in those standards.
Cheers,
Mark
