The only way to do it right now is to edit the virt-p2v-server 
executable. Up at the top, you should see:

# Uncomment these 2 lines to capture debug information from the conversion
# process
#$ENV{'LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG'} = 1;
#$ENV{'LIBGUESTFS_TRACE'} = 1;


On completion, it will write the output to a log file in 
/var/log/virt-p2v-server.XXXXXXXX.log.
