Very doable with report variables combined with a rectangle or line that has
its Show
property set to an expression that yields True for those row numbers that you
want it
printed.

Nothing builtin but I supposed that would be handy. Anyway here's a snippet to
set
that up (open up your .rfxml in a text editor and paste this between
<Variables> and
</Variables>:
<Variable>
<Name>detailCount</Name>
<expr>self.detailCount + 1</expr>
<InitialValue>0</InitialValue>
<ResetAt>None</ResetAt>
</Variable>
This will increment self.detailCount for every detail row processed. If you
want it
to reset when a group changes, change ResetAt to match that group's expr.
Then put in a Show for the object like this one to have it print every other
row:
<Objects>
<Object>
<Line>
...
<Show>self.detailCount % 2 == 0</Show>
</Line>
</Object>
</Objects>
