Plain latex offers the \includeonly command to do this natively, that is

\includeonly{chap3}
...
\include{chap1}
...
\include{chap2}
...
\include{chap3}
...
\include{chap4}
...

Run once all needed passes with \includeonly commented out, then the next run
with \includeonly uncommented will output a correctly numbered chapter 3.

This seem quite difficult to port to LyX, and IMHO useless: multipart docs are 
quite
nice in LyX as you can compile separately without editing (in plain latex, you 
would have
to patch the preamble in each chapter file).
You just need to be confident in the fact that the numbers will be all right 
when you will build the
main document, in the same line as you are confident in TeX to compute a 
correct layout...
