No, you can't do that. /boot is special and needs to be a separate partition.
Needs is a bit strong, as grub2 does support LVM. It's not a supported configuration for Redhat.
I'm not a sure there's a lot to it beyond having the lvm module loaded in grub, but I've honestly not tried.
Indeed, /boot does not need to be a separate partition. I have /boot within the root filesystem on my test boxes where I know I will need to install many / all kernels for testing / development purposes for the specific reason that I do not need to set a size for /boot and it can just consume whatever it needs from the rest of the filesystem.
