hi,
I just tried this, and after a bit of tweaking, it's working great for me.
I had a bit of trouble with my xorg.conf (had to change from hex to
decimal for the pci bus id), but that wasn't much of an issue once I
actually read the error message.
The biggest hurdle I had was the picture not being displayed properly
... best described in this post on the ivtv list:

Once I switched my Live TV profile from 640x480 to 720x480 (as suggested
later in the posts), both videos & DVDs play great.
DVD command:
xine -f -I -V xv --audio-driver alsa --no-logo --no-splash dvd://
video command:
mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo xv %s
specs:
ivtv-0.3.5z (by hand, no emerge)
gentoo (2.6.11-gentoo-r9 kernel)
pIII 733
384 MB ram
