That's roughly what I ended up doing.  I created a separate user,
console, for conserver to connect to and created RSA and DSA identities.
I found the mkvt is actually an alias which isn't available when you ssh
in to run a command so my final exec command line looks like this:

console lpar1 {
        type exec;
        exec ssh -i /root/.ssh/console_dsa -l console -t lpar ioscli mkvt -id 2;
}

The -t is there to force allocating a tty which is needed by the mkvt
command.
