This is probably even scriptable (hmmm... sounds like a new project).
Why create a script when SysPrep can do this automatically and already exists? We can use sysprep, as part of the converter wizard, to specify the IP Settings for the resulting virtual machine.To see how to do this:

I'm not sure if your question was answered, I read it differently than the rest I believe. Are you asking if you can keep the same IP address as the physical, for the newly P2V'ed VM? As long as they are on the same subnet, you should be fine. However, if you are P2V'ing a pyhsical that is in a different subnet (ie, different DataCenter, etc) you will need to make use of vLAN's presented to the hosts in your environment. Then when you create the network adapter, you would specify the vLAN at that point.
