Yes, managing and monitoring gluster geo-replication from oVirt is on 
the roadmap.
We had started some work on designing it 
(http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Gluster_Geo_Replication), but had to 
abandon it due to other priorities.

Though this may not make it to 3.5, could you review the feature page 
and tell us if these are the features of Geo replication that you were 
looking for?
