yes. you can view the code of the image uploader[1] which handles 
uploading to the export domain - i.e., you don't even have to do so 
yourself and can use the image-uploader (well, to upload it back, i 
think we're missing the 'download' part)
virt-v2v also does that btw (pushing its output to the export domain)
