I believe you modify /usr/src/release/${ARCH}/boot_crunch.conf to do this.
I haven't actually tried though...
I think it would be possible to have a 'GEOM' menu that you can run prior to
fdisk, label, etc that would allow you to do some basic stuff like this.
While the sysinstall code is a bit fugly it's not that difficult to hack on
(speaking from limited experience :)
