Just got a notice that the provisioning profile for one of my apps is about to expire. Is there some way I can renew the existing one or must I recreate a new one?

I've done what you suggest, and I don't see a "Renew" button either.
The following is how I got mine renewed.
I see my three profiles (companynameProfile, "Team Provisioning Profile", and productnameProfile). THe first and third are going to expire within a couple of weeks. The second (and only the second) is flagged as "managed by Xcode". The profile names appear in a table with columns labelled: "Provisioning Profile", App ID, Status, and Actions. The status for all three is "Active". First 1 and 3, the Actions column has a "Download" button, and an "Edit" link. For 2, gthe Actions column has only the "Download" button.
There is no "Renew" (or "Refresh") button / link anywhere (and I did a view-source and searched that too :)
So, I thought...click on "Edit" on #3 ... two choices pop-up: Modify and Duplicate. I chose "Modify"
There is still no renew/refresh ... but there is a "Submit" button ... which doesn't work (turns out its sort of grayed out, but that's not at all obvious...bad UI design).
I discovered that if I change something on the screen (in my case, I selected a previously unused device), "Submit" darkens (becomes available). Click on "Submit". You're quietly (another UI problem :) taken back to the prior page, and the "Download" and "Edit" buttons are gone, and the status column should say "Pending"!
After awhile, I refreshed the window (reloaded) (don't know if it would have auto-refreshed) ... and saw that the status column had changed to "Active".
Now...I downloaded the new profile (the one that the darn page doesn't tell you is new, and doesn't LIST THE EXPIRATION DATE so you could tell yourself ... third UI flaw already :)
I downloaded the profile, deleted the old profile from the list in the Organizer window of Xcode, then dragged the new one into the Organizer window of Xcode, and ... voila, Organizer shows a new expiration date (of about 3 months from today).
Hope that helps,

for Team Profile, simple in Prereference --> Account--->select the corret account-->detail-->click the left bottom 'refresh' button. the profile will be renewed.
Most answers are outdated here. Your provisioning profile connects to your certificate. It's expiry date is determined by the certificate's expiry. So to do this manually, follow the steps to update your certificate and edit your provisioning profile and select the new certificate. Your provisioning will change its expiration to the certs expiry date. If my answer needs more details drop a comment and I can fill it out a bit more.
