A related post from Kevin Anderson pointed me in the right direction.

After some digging, I came across this page which pointed me to the
vgscan command which I had somehow overlooked.

I also realized that I had forgotten to add the line in lvm.conf to
tell LVM to use the AoE drives.

    types = [ "aoe", 16 ]

Once I added this to lvm.conf and ran vgscan, the logical volume was
there and was successfully mounted.
