Can an LVM be mounted read-only on a foreign system that has same vg name?

I haven't been able to tell if this is possible yet or not. I have LVM (1) under SuSE 8.2 and would love to be able to insert that disk into another machine WITHOUT having to export the vg and somehow mount it. Well... in reality what I have are full disk image backups and I would like to mount the filesystem (reiserfs) under one of the lv's of the image via the loop interface.

Possible??
