I recently purchased the LG Optimus V phone (thank GOD my AT&T contract finally ran out!) and was able to use the Titanium method to get market working on my PE.

1> I rooted my PE with Z4root and installed Titanium Backup Free.
2> I rooted my LG Optimus V (a bit more complicated as Z4 didn't do the trick - it required the "gingerbreak" method) and installed Titanium Backup Free.
3> I used Titanium Backup Free to back up Market and a couple other GApps from my phone onto its SD card.
4> I powered off the phone and used a SDCard USB reader to read the SDCard on my PE.
5> I restored the apps from the SDCard to the PE using the Titanium Backup Free on the PE.
6> I made a build.prop (IIRC) tweak per the instructions.
7> I shut down the PE.
8> I reinstalled the SD Card back into my phone and powered it up making sure it all still worked normally.
9> I powered up the PE and made sure Market works (it does!)
10> Yay me!

The only downside is that now Google Market thinks my phone is a PE and will only show (and install) apps that it feels is compatible with the PE.. it says "Edge Jr Unknown device". Maybe it's just a setting somewhere I'll have to find I just haven't messed with it much yet.
