I think the fortunate thing is that everything else important on the server was running in their own VMs with their own LVM partitions. So luckily there doesn't seem to be anything important affected by my stupidity, the most important I wanted saved were the LVM configuration and VM configs which fortunately were in standalone XML files. I *think* I probably could had quickly reinstall a bare minimum C6 to fix it, but after realizing my epic foolishness with replacing /var, I didn't want to take any chances of anaconda wiping all the LVM partitions.
